It's Great to be Back!

I am so thrilled to be back! I missed everyone so much!  This morning we spent time working with grammar, specifically verbs and nouns.  After math, we had writer's workshop and heard some great stories.  The revisions are turning out great!  Engage was the morning Co-Curricular.  

Third grade math: 
Today was a great day!  I missed the best group of mathematicians so much!  We talked about algorithms today, specifically with subtraction.  We worked on JPs 47 & 48 which are due on Wednesday.  We will not have class tomorrow due to MEAP.



After lunch we had DEAR and then began working on science.  The kids made videos with their observations from Friday's lab and posted the videos on their science wiki pages.  Next, the kids worked on their iMovie projects about Earth materials.  The finished movies are looking AMAZING!  You will be impressed when they are finished!  We ended the afternoon with a classroom meeting.  Afterwards, we went outside for a team recess.



Please note that there is a 3/4 coffee with the principal on October 24th at 10a.m.
Also, please consider the upcoming Geography Bee!  You can read more about it in the post if you click here.
