Third Grade- Week in Review
Last week we started third grade. Which is really hard to believe, because I’m pretty sure it was just last month that we started second grade. But apparently it’s been a whole year. Anyway…
On Wednesday we had our first day of homeschool co-0p. So here is Hailey all ready to go to co-op. She was so excited to back and see all of her friends from last year.

Then, on Thursday we had our first day of school at home. Hailey, Hunter, and Harper were all excited for the day to start!
Since it was the first week of school and we only had 2 days of school I don’t have a lot to share, but here are a few of the things that we did:
Our calendar board is much simpler this year and so far that is working very well for us. Hailey is doing everything on the board except the weather, which Hunter is doing. Last year there was just way too much on our calendar board and it took forever to do everything.
As part of the beginning of our day, Hailey is also doing a page from Critical and Creative Thinking each day. So far she is enjoying the activities.
On the first day of school Hailey filled out a Back to School survey about a variety of things she likes to do. She did one on the first day of school last year too, and I hope to remember to do it every year since it will be fun to look back at them in the years to come.
Hailey also drew a self-portrait, which is another thing we do every year.
Another back to school activity we did was this All About-Me Robot.
We are using Grapevine for Bible this year and so far Hailey and I both really like it. The simple drawings (that even I can do) make it much easier to remember the information being taught.
For math we are using Teaching Textbooks and Hailey loves it! What a change from last year. She cheers when it’s time to do math and that was certainly never the case before. I hope her enthusiasm continues.
We’re using Science in the Beginning and Hailey really liked that too. We are doing it every other day, so we only had science once. We did a fun experiment and read a short lesson. Then Hailey did an entry in her science notebook.
So far, so good. Let’s hope that continues.
