It was a an awesome Wednesday!

This morning we began with Sign of the Beaver!  We read chapters four and five.  During writing we shared our story hooks - the one (to a few) sentence(s) that would get readers excited to read our stories!  We will have 27 great stories coming up soon!

In third grade math we looked further into patterns of division.  Today's journal pages were 88 and 89.  

After Engage, lunch and Engineering Technology, we had the remainder of the afternoon to focus on our Michigan studies.  Today we focused on the climate finished focus lesson three.  The remainder of the comprehension packet is homework, due tomorrow.

Please remember that tomorrow is a LATE START day so we will begin at 9:50.  We'll have a shortened version of our regular Thursday schedule.  Then on Friday, we will visit the Ford Rouge Plant.  Students will need to bring a lunch that they will eat on the bus after the tour.

Thank you for reading and have a wonderful night!
