Thursday Already!

Wow, I can't believe tomorrow is Friday!  This week has gone by so quickly!  I guess four fabulous days explains it!  We began with new biography books for reading.  All the kids were excited to find out who their biography or autobiography would be about!

During third grade math, we checked four pages of the geometry packet and then began to investigate polyhedrons.  We had an extra long math class which I LOVED; I could handle math class all day, every day!  The homework is: make three-dimensional shapes (handout provided in class), complete JPs 152 & 152 and HL 6.11.  Also, fact quizzes and IXL are both due by Sunday 3/4.  NEW: Fact quiz scores will not be saved UNLESS they meet a certain percentage of accuracy.  So, if necessary, a message to re-take the quiz will appear.

We didn't have much time after math before PE and lunch.  After lunch was DEAR time; we did not start the new Rosa Parks book that I will read aloud, we will start it tomorrow.  Then, it was time for Spanish.  After Spanish, we worked on finishing the Michigan Ecosystem PSAs.  Only a few groups will need to finish up tomorrow.  Lastly, students shared their book club projects from the Realistic Fiction genre.

THERE WILL BE NO SWIMMING FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS DUE TO JUMP ROPE FOR HEART.  PLEASE LOOK FOR THE HANDOUTS TOMORROW AS WE WILL NEED VOLUNTEERS.

Please also remember to check other class blogs/wikis for important information and homework assignments.  The applicable blogs/wikis are on the left side of this page.

Thank you for reading and have a great night!
