In third grade math, we worked on symmetry and continued to discuss polyhedrons. We also checked pages 6-9 of the geometry packets. I distributed the review which is due on Tuesday. Our Unit 6 test will be on Thursday. The HW is JP 154, HL 6.12, Fact Quizzes, IXL and Review due Tuesday.
After Art and lunch, we celebrated Elle's birthday! Thanks for the mini cookie cupcakes! Then, we began reading a Rosa Parks biography donated to our class by the Fabulous Phillip! It ties into our biography genre, Black History Month, and now Women's History Month.
For the remainder of the day, we continued our Ecosystems unit and watched The Lorax. There is an activity sheet that is due on Tuesday.
If you would like to re-view the old Lorax movie that we watched in class, you can find it here:

The new, motion picture The Lorax is now playing in theaters. Please consider joining us next Saturday 3/10 to see this movie! It will be SO FUN! Please let me know if you did not receive the email I sent earlier regarding the event.
Lastly, we saw a great presentation about honeybees prepared by some BCS 5th and 6th graders!
THERE WILL BE NO SWIMMING FOR THE NEXT WEEK DUE TO JUMP ROPE FOR HEART. PLEASE LOOK FOR THE HANDOUTS TOMORROW AS WE WILL NEED VOLUNTEERS.
