1. We will be celebrating Read Across America and Dr. Seuss's birthday by kicking off Monday with some jr. high students. Miss Kerian is bringing her class down to our classroom. Together, we will be reading favorite books together, doing a Dr. Seuss scavenger hunt, and kicking of a fun week of activities for Read Across America.
2. No school Tuesday due to the Cadets girls basketball team playing at the State tournament at 11:45! Hope to see some of you in Des Moines!!!
3. We will be finishing up a project based activity students were working on in library. Students will finish working with their partner or small group to create a Keynote presentation on their learning. Look for students to post these projects on their individual blog pages soon!
4. Students jumped right into writing fiction! We are exploring the different types of fiction. Students have also learned that they can work on adding detail to their writing by asking "What if…..????". Writing is becoming a favorite with many 3rd grade students, and that is so exciting to see! Compared to the beginning of the year, all 3B students have grown as writers in so many ways!
5. Decimals….yes….decimals. Last Friday we launched into our study of decimals. The students grasped onto the idea of what a decimal is and how we show decimals and fractions. More exploration will be done with decimals this week in math as well.
That just gives you a quick run down of what we are working on and will work on this week in 3B! I am excited also to say that it looks like the weather might be warming up soon! We deserve a little warm up and time for students to get outside!!!! I think we have had enough of this stuff called "winter".
