Just a quick summary of the week:
- Thursday we started multiplying larger numbers. We use what is called the Partial Product algorithm. It is much different than the way we learned! Yes, it is o.k. to teach the kids our "old fashion way" when helping with homework.
- I know it has gotten warmer and is beginning to feel like summer...but we still have homework to do! Our averages have gone down since the weather has warmed. Please remember the kids have math homework every night except Friday. Remember to return the practice timed tests too!
- In reading we are working on a new novel called The Legend of Jimmy Spoon. In the story a young man runs away to get a horse from the Indians. It is a great book showing how Native American's lived in the 1800's. A perfect fit to our social studies unit.
- Next week we will be doing a craft that will require a wire hanger. If you have one at home we could use, please send it to school by Friday. Yes, it will be returned to you in one piece.
- We have enjoyed checking in on the eagles, they are really growing! This week we also began our last science unit based on different types of life cycles.
- Remember the baby shower for Mrs. Hartsock is next week on Friday, April 20th. If you plan on giving Elise a book, please have it at school by Thursday.
- Special Events next week:
- Mid-Prairie FFA will be coming to talk to both third grade classes on Tuesday.
- The middle school will perform their skit on Wednesday of next week.
- Mrs. Hartsock's shower is on Friday of next week.
- We will try on having pictures to next week's blog - been too busy in the classroom this week!
