Mrs. Buckman's Class
Mrs. Buckman's 3-4 class has big plans this year. They are
already planning ahead for an archeological dig! To fund this
project, Mrs. Buckman's students are selling the same wonderful
Human-i-tees shirts that were such a hit
last year. This year, tote bags and hats are also available and the
new shirt designs are awesome!
"Communities" is the theme they are studying in Social Studies.
Exchanging information with penpals in Morganfield, Kentucky is a
great way to learn about your own community and someone else's as
well.
Mrs. Buckman is looking for other schools to share a cooperative
growing project to coincide with her unit on Plants and Seeds. The
kids have been astounded with the variety of conditions that plants
can actually survive in. If you are interested in participating in
this discovery process, contact Mrs. Buckman at the Grantham Village
School. If you'd like to know what kinds of topics Botanists are
working on in one of our leading universities,try contacting the
University of Georgia.
Maybe you could contact them with help with your class project?
In math, students are studying Time and Money (something we all
wish we haad more of). We'll post the results here if they come up
with any ideas of how to increase either. ;-) To learn more about our
currency, check out these pages at the
US
Treasury.
"Biographies" is the focus in Language Arts this term. Students
will be writing biographies of their penpals, members of our
community, and someone from NH history. For a good resource dealing
with NH history,

Mrs. Buckman's class will soon be focusing on a unit titled
"Inventors and Inventions" focusing on the topic of Flight. If you
are a pilot, or in the flight field, or if you are an inventor in our
community, you would be very welcome to come to share your background
and expertise with our students. Hope to hear from you.
