April/May 2016

April rain brings sprinkles of knowledge,
To show the learning throughout the year,
Our superheroes have shown their power,
They’ve proven to have no fear!!

Manatee Bay’s spectacular third graders have opened up their creative minds and let their knowledge flourish this year!  From poetry to science and math to writing, they’ve worked incredibly hard on becoming highly skilled.

This month all third graders will take the ELA and Math FSA standardized test. Once again, our teachers feel extremely confident that our superheroes are prepared to conquer and persevere! We are so proud of all of their hard work!

Our student’s endless determination and firm efforts continue to establish an environment of creativity and originality. Fourth quarter brings exciting STEM projects, thrilling novels, reader’s theater plays, and so much more! It also brings the opportunity to extend our knowledge and apply it through classroom simulations.


In addition, there are many fantastic themes taking place this month. Students will continue expressing and sharing their strong opinions through writing and exploring the marvelous mysteries of the Sun, Stars, and Outer space, while also learning about the remarkable planet we live on, Earth!! To conclude this unit of study, many of our third graders will journey to Kennedy Space Center on a field trip later this quarter where they can continue to SHOOT FOR THE MOON! The third grade teachers are looking forward to a fantastic ending to the year!
