Late Start Thursday!

Today was a SUPER day!  We began our day with DEAR time and then had math.  In third grade math we continued to work with multiplication and division, specifically fact triangles.  We worked on JP 90 and HL 4.6 and then finished the morning with Around the World with multiplication facts.  The kids really love playing!

After math we had a short Writer's Workshop.  I heard many kids say that they are excited to hear everyone's stories!  I too am excited since everyone started their stories with great, exciting sentences!

After lunch the kids had swimming and Spanish.  After Spanish we spent time talking about tomorrow's field trip.  We discussed the importance of the Ford Rouge Plant and we also learned about Henry Ford himself.

Please remember that tomorrow's field trip will require kids to bring a PEANUT FREE bag lunch. We will have to eat on the bus on the way back to school.  If you would like to see more about the Ford Rouge Factory please click HERE.
