Reading:
We are reviewing this week and next. We have covered a lot of vocabulary this quarter, so we are taking the time to recap.
Students had a spelling test on Thursday and will receive new words on Monday. There will be a Latin/Greek test on Thursday 10/6 (novem/9, dec/10, cent/100, mill/1,000).
Writing:
Students finished their opinion papers on the best animal. They turned out nicely and are hanging in the hall if you happen to pass by.
Grammar:
We learned about adverbs this week. Some students are still struggling with the parts of speech, so we will review again next week.
Projects:
As supplies were being gathered for our catapults, we had some project time to "spare", so we learned a little bit about magnets, which is another 3rd grade standard.
Please check your email - we are going to start building on Tuesday. If you are able to help out, please let me know. We need all the extra hands we can get.
Misc:
We started Flashlight Wednesdays (we are trying to come up with a better name). They all got their own flashlight and we read with the lights off. It's super fun (check out the picture tab).
Pajama day was great - thank you all for the donations. The students always look so cute in their jammies.
Fall Break is the week of October 17. I hope you all have something fun planned.
