3rd Grade Solar System & Weather
Third graders have been busy studying the solar
system and even ate their way through the phases of
the moon. They have also just completed a unit on
weather. We are busily reviewing for the state tests
which will be coming up in May. If students would
like extra practice at home on the math standards,
there is an excellent web site called IXL. Com.

practice.
