Life in the library

  On Tuesday November 23, 2010 do to air conditioning problems our class was moved. Where were we moved  you ask? To the library! And now you think a tragedy class 301 was moved to the library! After all it was not as big of a tragedy as you think, it was actually kind of an interesting  experience. But unfortunately we had to be extremely quiet which for our class is like level 3! That did not effect us much because we were having a multiplication test ( which we all passed with a level of 70% or higher!) But now we are back in the classroom and we are all happy again!

This Week We Will Have...

Hey 3rd graders! Hope you had a great weekend! This week we have a 2 day week to look forward to! :) We will take our main idea test tomorrow, Monday. There really isn't any way to study for this in particular. If you have been paying attention and doing your best work during class, you should do great! On Tuesday, we will take our multiplication test. Make sure you practice your facts!! You can use scrap paper/graph paper to create arrays to help you get your answers.

Tuesday is our Thanksgiving Feast with our fellow 3rd grade classes! I'm so excited to share in this feast with you! Please make sure you bring what you signed up for! Parents, we will have a microwave that we can reheat food in. Please try to send items in a microwavable bowl. Also, try to send in serving spoons to use. We will try to label dishes as best we can! Thanks so much for your continued support for our children!!

Times Test's

'         Today we did our 7th times test! We are starting to run out of easy facts and getting to the hard ones, like 6's, 7's, 8's, and 12's. Once we finish all the tests with 93% or higher  we get a Sundae party! We will be earning; a bowl, spoon, napkin, 1 scoop, 2 scoops, chocolate syrup, cookie topping, candy topping, sprinkles, magic shell, whipped cream, and a cherry. It will be a tummy loving, taste bud dancing sundae party!

Multiplction

Today we had another multiplction quiz. Miss. DeCarlo will ask you what times tables you want. We have to complete the test in three minutes. When we complete all of our facts, we will all enjoy an ice cream sundae party! 

In writing, we learned about writing using elaborative details.  This means that we need to add details using our senses. We need to write using describing words.

Show in Tell

 Today Maya and Tyler showed their reports on the trip they took. They each made a book on what they did on their trip. Maya took a trip to Boston. Tyler took a trip to Williamsburg.

We learned about our 8 times tables and we had our multiplication test. We get a sundae  party after we master all our times tables .  Today we practiced our multiplication flash cards.                                                          

Ms. Arden's special visits

Today Ms. Arden came to our classroom to talk about writing stories. We acted out scenes of a story in slow motion. We did it to get the idea of putting in every detail and not rushing through a story.

Today in gym we did sit ups it made my stomach hurt. Today was also game day. There was battle ship, monopoly and more. That was our day.

Spanish Class

Today in Spanish our Spanish teacher had to come to our class. The kindergarten 

class had their classroom under construction so they were using the Spanish class.

Spanish was very (I mean it) fun!

Today at school

Today in gym we played outside! There was Frisbee, jump rope and basket ball. It was very cold outside.
Later we searched some poem books for a poem we could relate to. We are going to make poem anthology books. Today we did a lot of interesting activities!

our class today

Today in art, we cut out towns for our Van Gogh style skies.  We cut our landscapes out of black paper. The black paper was thick. 

During writing we picked and studied our long e spelling words. We had a great day.
