We were fortunate 3 years ago to receive brand new textbooks to complement our social studies curriculum. Third Graders in Falmouth learn about Massachusetts, Falmouth and 6 different Native American tribes from various U.S. regions. It’s a very interesting year in social studies!
Massachusetts, Our Home is a beautiful text, which explores topics in geography, economics, government and history. In Room 309, our Essential Question in social studies this year is “How has the world around us changed, and how might it change in the future?” We will be framing our learning with that question in mind. Whether the “world” we study is as small as our family, or as large as our planet, we will search for answers to our Essential Question along the way.
What a gorgeous weekend it was! I hope you were able to spend some time together as families – we enjoyed every minute!!
This Praying Mantis loved my driveway on Saturday. We laid on our bellies and watched for a loonnngggg time 🙂
I had fun creating a Halloween card online.... Click the Pic!
We are starting a year-long, behind the scenes project called Where’s George? For homework, students are asked to bring in a dollar bill. We hope that they know where the dollar bill came from. When it goes home again, I want them to come back and tell me where they decided to spend it. We will stamp the bill, log the serial numbers online at www.wheresgeorge.com and hopefully track where they end up. We’ll keep you posted!
The third grade is planning a trip to Plimoth Plantation on November 10th. The charge will be $5 per student, $10 per chaperone. Everyone will will need to pack a lunch. A field trip notice will go home soon.

Hi Mrs. Brooks, in the other day it is P.E time and this is all about someone who

Hi Jonathan,
I’m sorry to hear that one of your classmates made a bad choice – remember that when you are in PE, that you can ask the teacher for help, or let your teacher know when you get in the classroom. Sometimes it’s hard for 4th graders to follow the rules, but luckily there’s many people to help them out… If you think you need my help, come see me and I’ll see if I can give you a hand.
Have a great weekend,
Love,
Mrs. Brooks
