State Box Connections

As the girls waited anxiously for Field Day to begin, they continued to demonstrate their love of learning!
 
Abby and Mia connected Oregon and Georgia both having a coastline, but not on the same ocean
 
Meredith, Ashy, and Lydia discovered each of their states border one of the five Great Lakes. 
 
Half of the New England States, in the north-east region are represented by Maddy, Ingrid, and Sadie.
 
Merriwether and Lexie connected their states to be second and third in size.  Also, California and Texas border the country of Mexico and are coastal states as well.  
 
 
 Grace, Lucia, Lizzie, and Meley represent the 47th, 48th, 49th, and 50th state to complete the USA!

From the Library

Summer Reading has been posted. https://www.brynmawrschool.org/library-ls-summer-reading-landing. It is available through the Bryn Mawr School website. Go to Lower School, Peggy Bessent Library, Summer Reading. Third graders have been looking at many of the books on the list and already have some ideas about which books they might enjoy. We've also had fun reviewing many of the books we've read together this year, identifying quotes:  "It's the hardest thing in the world to frighten a mongoose, because he is full of curiosity from nose to tail." (Rikki Tikki Tavi), and details: In which book does a sister tease her brother about taking his favorite stuffed animal to a sleepover? (Ira Sleeps Over)
Have fun reading this summer!
