Reading:
We finished up sharing our author studies.
Students took a spelling test on Thursday. They will receive their new spelling words when we get back from Thanksgiving break.
Students took notes on new Latin/Greek and will test the Thursday we come back.
We started learning about Greek Mythology, which is always a high interest subject for 3rd and 4th graders. The stories are so interesting!

Writing:
We are finishing up our Fall versions of the Three Little Pigs. 3rd graders will share them with the kinders on Tuesday.

Grammar:
This week we learned about simple and compound sentences.

Projects:
3rd graders are moving through their 51st state projects. They are creating Google presentations, flag replicas, and a map.

Misc:
Thanksgiving break starts Wednesday. Enjoy this time off with your family! Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I am looking forward to hearing about all of your adventures when your children come back.
