We love sharing our learning in Ms. Walker's 3rd grade classroom! This week we practiced our weekly vocabulary words by working in groups to complete 4 squares that include defining, understanding, drawing a picture and describing what the word means. Then each group presents their word to the class, as mini teachers to encourage public speaking and team building. Maybe there are some future teachers in class at #thePark!

Mrs. Boyd’s class has been learning all about shapes. Circles, triangles, rectangles, and squares! The students have learned how to count the number of sides and vertices for each shape.
