Fabulous Friday!

What a quick week!  We had a fabulous day today!  We started out with daily grammar and then got right into writing (all students have finished their ecosystem book).  After math, we continued with writing and the kids also took their spelling test.

During third grade math we continued to discuss fractions.  We spent a lot of time on JP 202 as it was a very challenging page.  Your child should have lovely pictures and explanations in his or her journal from our discussions.  The HW is to finish JP 201 by Monday.  Also, I distributed the unit 8 review which is due on Tuesday.  We will take our Unit 8 test on Wednesday.

After art and lunch, we did planners and then quickly went to the Media Center.  After we returned we started our team movie event.  Dolphin Tale is one of THE BEST movies I have seen!  I had no idea what an amazing movie it would be!  As prosthetics were an integral part of the movie, we were reminded of the fact that we had the opportunity earlier in the year to Skype with Scott Rigsby and ProCare Prosthetics.  We were also reminded about disabilities in general and how living with one should not stop anyone (or any animal) from doing what they love.  I could go on and on about this incredible movie and about my love for dolphins.  Thank you Kylee for bringing the movie in for us!  If you want to have a look at Winter just check click this LINK.

Thank you to those of you who have already responded to my email this morning about next week.  Also, I am very excited about our next trip to the movies!

Have a wonderful weekend!
