Week of 11-23

This week, there are no new Spelling words or Reading stories. We are working on finishing up some projects started in Language Arts. Everyone is working on a Tornado book, and half of the class is completing a Freckle Juice book report. In Math, we have started multiplication. Students should practice these at home to memorize their facts.

We are collecting toiletries for the homeless in our area. Please send what you can. We need soap, shampoo, socks, deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, disposable razors, shaving cream, and hair combs. Thanks for your help.

Monday--Free Dress for PERFECT attendance
Tuesday--Fall Dress Day--Wear red, orange, yellow, brown
Wednesday--Noon dismissal. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Tasty Math
















Today, third grade graphed M&M's. We were learning about bar graphs and how to use them to solve problems. So after third grade recorded their M&M's by color on their bar graph, they had to create 4 addition or subtraction problems to go with the graph information. They traded with a partner, and had to solve each other's problems. Finally, they had a tasty treat.

Halloween was such a fun day! Special thanks to the parents who donated goodies for our classroom party. Costumes were great! The third grade winners were Anthony Hernandez and Aaryona Adams.
