Terrific Thursday!
Today was terrific! We began the day with our new Book Clubs! We talked about the Science Fiction genre again, as well as what is expected during Book Clubs. The kids were wonderful and were very excited to see their group's book!
In third grade math we made numbers all the way up to the millions! The kids were so excited about it that we are going to have a trivia game each morning where I will write a number in the millions and the kids will try to say it correctly. The kids received two wonderful presents in class today... First, a place value chart (not super exciting but super useful in the long run). Second, I gave each student a multiplication table sticker (these were much more well-received than the place value charts). I suggested the kids put it somewhere so it will become a useful study tool. The HW today is JP 105 and HL 5.3. Also, there are still a few students who need to take their fact quizzes from Tuesday.
During Writing Workshop we continued revising and publishing. Many of the kids printed their story which included a fabulous picture!
After PE, Lunch, DEAR, and Spanish, we had some extra time (due to no co-teaching) to work on our science wikis. They are AMAZING! Please check them out HERE!
That sums up our terrific day!
Also, Choice Hour selection sheets are due no later than Friday. However, we are hoping to get them all in ASAP since the prize is a movie and popcorn party! We're in second place as of now!!

Wednesday already!
Wow, what a wonderful Wednesday! This morning we began with a discussion of Science Fiction, our first genre of study in Reader's Workshop. We'll officially start tomorrow but we had a nice discussion about Science Fiction since Cosmic, is a Science Fiction novel. Then, we read more from Cosmic.
In math we worked with ordering numbers. We also checked JP 103. The HW is JP 104 and HL 5.2.
During writing, we worked on revising and publishing in the Creative Station. Then the kids had Engage, Lunch, DEAR and Engineering Technology.
For the remainder of the afternoon we launched our new Ecosystems unit. First we talked about the importance of setting team goals and then we developed a list of examples. Then, the kid got into their new groups and designed the wiki pages.
We will have another field trip on Friday 1/20 - we'll be going to the Detroit Historical Museum! The permission slip went home today. If you can send it in by Monday 1/9 that would be great!
Also, Choice Hour selection sheets are due no later than Friday. However, we are hoping to get them all in ASAP since the prize is a movie and popcorn party!
