Wonderful Wednesday

Today was a wonderful Wednesday.  We had our first math class of the year!  Fourth graders went next door with Mrs. Harvath while all of the third graders came to our room with Ms. Leach.  You can check out the earlier post "Wednesday's Third Grade Math" for more info on how math class went today.  After math, we had snack and then started our first Reading Workshop and Writing Workshop!  During this time, we got out our new reading folders and put our reading tally sheet and logs inside.  This will help us keep track of each book we read, what genres we are reading, and what books we'd like to read next!  In Writing Workshop we got to begin working on a cool acrostic all about our personal characteristics.  Then it was time for lunch, Spanish, and Art. Afterwards, we got to finish working on our acrostics so that Ms. Leach can laminate them and we can put them on our lockers!  Just before the end of the day, we discussed our homework (see below for details), and finally it was time to clean up the room and pack up.  Since we did such a great job cleaning the room, we were even able to play a quick game together right before the bell rang!  How wonderful :)
