Terrific Thursday!

Today was a terrific day! We started this morning out by finishing the class contract that we began on Tuesday.  The kids really amazed me at how thorough and complete their ideas were.  The final contract will come home soon!  We also finished working on MEAP practice this morning.  Swimming was the morning Co-Curricular.  

Third grade math: 
Today was a fantastic day!  The kids took the Unit 1 test and really did a great job!  After the test the kids worked on their addition and subtraction packets or practiced math on computers or iPads.  


After lunch we had DEAR and then Spanish! For the remainder of the afternoon we had co-teaching and the students worked on their group's science wiki.  Our young scientists are articulating their observations very well!  We also had a fire drill and the children were excellent.  We were able to stay outside after the drill for a short recess until the bell rang.

The All About Me Newspapers are up in the hallway!  Please stop by and visit to see just how fabulous they turned out!  The kids worked really hard and it shows!

Thank you so much for reading the blog and for checking and signing your child's planner!
