Tuesday was great!

Today was a fantastic day!  We began with Sign of the Beaver!  After math we had Writer's Workshop.  I heard many great stories!  The kids are doing a great job with this small moment writing piece.

In third grade math, we spent time working on measuring, math boxes, fact tests and even some IXL.  The homework tonight is to finish JPs 99 & 100 if not done in class, and HL 4.10.  The review is due tomorrow and the Unit 4 test is on Friday.

After PE, lunch and Spanish, we had co-teaching with Mrs. Truesdell.  Afterwards we read from Cosmic.

As a reminder, after break kids will need a set of headphones to keep at school.  We will also need clear, cleaned out, two liter bottles for our exciting ecosystems unit after break.  We will also need parents to help with cutting the bottles so I can assemble the aquariums and terrariums.  We make 10 sets.  Please email me if you would be willing to volunteer.

The new spelling lists went out today.  The next test is 1/6/12.  As a reminder, students MUST LOG IN to Spelling City.  I will be grading based on the activity reports generated from the website.

Thank you for reading and have a wonderful evening!
