A Room full of "Rappers"

Well, I am sure you heard already!  The students in 3B are going to be future rap singers!  :)  They had so much fun and did a fabulous job with the "Place Value Rap"!  It was a wonderful learning experience!  Mrs. Sovereign happen to stop in and see them doing the rap as a large group, and she loved it!  I think, and hope, my students know their place value really well after practicing and singing that rap as much as we did the last week!  It was great!  I will be posting the rap on my blog page today as I was having trouble uploading it over the weekend.  I will also be posting the rap done by small groups as well so be sure to check the blog later today or tomorrow.

Hard to believe the month of January is almost over!  Wow!  We will soon start preparing for February parent-teacher conferences.  These conferences are student-led conferences which means you 3B child will be leading the conference.  That only makes sense as the conference is about them!  They are very nervous about doing them, but I know they will be fine once we start practicing. They will have lots to share!  Be looking for parent letters about your scheduled time in the next few weeks.

The students have been very busy this past month on many activities.  We are discussing author's purpose in literacy before moving into questioning.  Students are doing a quick review of what makes a complete sentence in writing pulled in with some writer's workshop. As you know, in math we are doing place value and will be going into decimals this week.  And in science we are working through various activities exploring force and motion.  Always busy in 3B!

I am pleased to report that the students in 3B reached their goal for receiving compliments from other adults in the building!  Yeah 3B!  To celebrate, the students decided they wanted to play games and have ice cream so we ending our day last Friday doing just that.  I was, and am, very proud of the students on showing their Character Counts and receiving compliments from the other teachers!  We will set a new goal today to try and achieve as well.

Have a great week!  At least the weather sounds better this week than last!  Thank goodness!  Remember there is a 3 hour early out Wednesday for teacher inservice.
