It was a FABULOUS Friday!

Today was a fabulous day!  This morning we began with DEAR (since our usual DEAR time was spent enjoying my birthday treat! It was late since there were so many birthdays at the beginning of November, I didn't want to interfere with anyone else's celebration).  Then, we learned (reviewed for some) how to use moodle to take today's two tests.  We spent this morning's reading and writing time taking the nouns quiz, working on the Ethan and Scott paragraph final drafts and then some even worked on publishing their small moments.


In third grade math, we investigated patterns and relationships involving area and perimeter.  There is no written homework, but the Friday Fact Tests MUST be completed by Tuesday.  It would also be a GREAT weekend to spend loads of time on IXL!!


After Engineering Technology and lunch we, as I mentioned, had my birthday treat and then went to the Media Center for book checkout.  Then, we came back and spent time taking our Land and Water Unit Test on Moodle.  Our last block of time was reserved for Time for Kids; the stories this week were great!  


Thanks for reading and have a WONDERFUL evening!!
