Today was a very busy day as Fridays are always eventful! We began our morning with Reading Workshop. The book clubs are really going well! After math, we spent our time on Writing Workshop. Today we had Author's Chair as sharing is a very important part of writing. The stories we heard were excellent! Engineering Technology was the morning Co-Curricular.
Third grade math: Today was a great day! We checked the math boxes from lesson 1.11 and then completed lesson 1.12. We explored patterns! We then worked on JP 24. Homework is JP 25 and HL 1.12. The Unit 1 review came home today. It is due Tuesday and the Unit 1 test is Thursday. PLEASE consider the IXL donation. The program is absolutely incredible. Please feel free to email me with any specific questions.
After lunch we had a power outage but we were still able to continue with Author's Chair. Then, we had media center (just a visit, no checkout) and afterwards read Time for Kids. Science was AMAZING (and jam packed with activity)! Your children observed the water cycle using their stream tables. Your child is an expert at explaining the water cycle as a result... Just ask!
Also, if anyone would be willing and able to please help with leveling our classroom library, it would be very much appreciated. Please just stop in and visit or email me to let me know if you could help.
The All About Me Newspapers are up in the hallway! Please stop by and visit to look at how fabulous they turned out! The kids worked really hard and it shows!
Thank you so much for reading and for checking and signing your child's planner!
Have an excellent weekend!
