Science and Social Studies Field Trip and events:
*In the past we have been fortunate to take a walking field trip to explore some of Newmarket's history *During our study of Immigration, we travel to Lowell Mills to learn about the history of factories, mill girls and a little about life in late 1800's. *One very exciting event in third grade is the Immigration Simulation where students act as an immigrant traveling through Ellis Island! *When we learn about the night sky, Mr. Negley pays us a visit to invite us into his traveling planetarium! *Toward the end of the year, when we learn about mapping skills we have a special visitor named Mr. MIMAL! Third Grade Science Fair!
In the spring of third grade, each student is asked to create a science fair project! This is a very exciting project for most kiddos, as they are able to explore inventions and inquiries they may be curious about. Ellis Island Virtual Field Trip! |
