Welcome Home!

After an exhausting week traveling the world, third grade has finally returned back to the classroom. We had a great time traveling together, but are happy to be home.

The students will all have two projects for their final assessment - one in Social Studies and one in Language Arts.

The Social Studies assessment will be a map of the world. Each student will have to construct a map of the world using unique and interesting materials. Students will be bringing home an assignment sheet, as well as a rubric that Miss S. will use in grading.

The Language Arts assessment will be a scrapbook of our trip. Each student will be required to write a journal entry for each country that we traveled to. With peers, students will edit their journal entries and then put them in a scrapbook. Once the entries are in the scrapbook, students will illustrate each one. This assignment will be done in class and Miss M. will be using a rubric to grade it.

Hope you enjoyed hearing about our trip as much as we enjoyed taking it!

Miss S. and Miss M.
