Today we had a great time celebrating our teams! After enjoying a very interesting chapter in the novel ” Poppy” , we enjoyed learning about equivalent fractions in a fun third grade math game. After lunch, we explored the geography of the Southeast Region of the US, and then we were off to the science lab to explore owl pellets with Mrs. Pepper from the Environmental Center. This was so exciting as you can see in the video. We are bringing our bones home today in a plastic baggie for you to see.
