Marvelous Monday!

Today was a marvelous day!  We began the morning with Sign of the Beaver.  I cannot wait to get into chapter three tomorrow!  After math we began a new lesson in Writer's Workshop.  We all had our list of five things that we have associated with a memory.  We will continue the brainstorming piece tomorrow.  The second paragraph practice went home today and it is due on 12/15.  If your child will not be here the day or two before break PLEASE arrange for completion PRIOR to leaving for Holiday Break.  I cannot WAIT to see what the kids come up with for this fun topic!!

In third grade math we talked about patterns and strategies for memorizing multiplication facts - they are SO important!  Then, we began to investigate division.  We worked on JP 84.  The HW is JP 85 and HL 4.3.

After Engage and lunch, we had DEAR and then classroom meeting.  We talked about bullying today and what we could do to be proactive if we were ever in a situation where we were being bullied, or if we witnessed someone else being bullied.  We then worked on our Michigan Studies and read from Cosmic for the remainder of the afternoon.

Overall we had a GREAT day!  Thank you for reading and have a nice evening.
