What a great Tuesday!

Today was a great day!  We began with Sign of the Beaver and we learned who the visitor turned out to be!  Then, during writing the kids were really excited about creating the hook for their story.  We discussed how to really get a reader interested in a story.

During third grade math we investigated division.  We work on JPs 86 & 87.  The HW is JP 87 and HL 4.4.

Today's co-curriculars were swimming and Spanish.  We did not have co-teaching today so we were able to continue with Sign of the Beaver.  To finish the day we read Cosmic.

Thank you for reading and have a great evening!

FYI: We will need CLEAR, cleaned-out, 2-liter bottles for science after Holiday Break!  As soon as you have one (or more) available please send it (or them) to school!
