Today was a FANTASTIC Tuesday!

Today we began with book clubs and I introduced informational text.  The kids did a great job listening to all the elements and we really had a great discussion.  Then, the kids received their new books and they enjoyed looking them over.  Many groups even began reading.

In third grade math we continued learning about place value with a short video and then we worked on lesson 5.12.  A set of review math boxes went home today, and they are due Friday.  We will have fact tests later this week.

During writing time, the final few students had their small moments revised and everyone else rewrote their first draft.  We will begin publish using audio later this week or early next week.

After PE, lunch and Spanish, we worked on Science wikis and then read Cosmic.

Thanks for reading and have a wonderful evening!
