Third grade is fun because we learn lots of cool stuff!  We learn how to do time tables and how to write in cursive.  Check out this page to see what we've learned so far and maybe we can help you learn it too!

Fifty Nifty - Fifty Nifty is a best song ever!  We learned the entire song in just one week.  This song teaches you how to say all fifty United States in ABC order.  You can also sing the song really fast.  We sing lots of songs in third grade.  Here are some songs we've learned this year.

"Do you know the Continents" - Sing to the tune of Do You Know the Muffin Man?

Do you know the continents, the continents, the continents?
Do you know the continents, all around the world?
There's Asia and Africa!
North and South America!
Austraila, Anarctica, and Europe Too!

OHHH OHHHH

"The Ocean song"

Pumpkin Carving-In October we learned about pumpkins.  One of the activities was pumpkin carving.  We guessed the amount of seeds in the pumpkin.  There were almost 500 seeds in our pumpkin.  We made him into a happy pumpkin.
 

Our Kwanzaa Celebration - We learned a lot about Kwanzaa this year.  Kwanzaa is celebrated on December 26,.  The celebration lasts for 7 days.  Each day the family celebrates one of the "nguzo saba" or the seven principals.  We enjoyed singing songs about Kwanzaa, and adding a flame to our cardboard kinara each day.
 

Multiplication- Multiplication is difficult but it is fun too.  We have learned our 0-11 time tables.  We play games in order to practice the facts.
 

All about Georgia - This year Georgia is on our mind.  We memorize the symbols of GA.
    state bird - brown thrasher
    state flower - cherokee rose
    state tree - live oak
    state nickname - 'The Peach State'
We also studied the controversy surrounding the flag.
