Third Grade Classes:
Welcome to the gifted and talented class in third grade!!
We still begin each class with a gadget. I did a lot of shopping over the summer and found some very interesting gadgets for this year!! I will try to post pictures of the gadgets we have already guessed so you can see if you know what they are.
The third grade curriculum looks very different from when your learner was in second grade. Beginning in third grade, the classes focus on team-building by completing Creative Problem solving kits. These kits are made with every day materials, but the learners are asked to use them in new and different ways! For example, your third graders will be given a kit where they have to create something to keep water in a cup while it was being held upside down. The materials they use are popsicle sticks, straws, cotton balls, rubber bands, and toothpicks. They have to use everything!!
