Today was a wild Monday... mostly for behaviors. The upcoming 4-day weekend bug has infected all of the students and made them not very excited to do anything that involves any effort! Yikes!
Luckily we made it through the day together. We spent a lot of time practicing our scripts for tomorrow's play (which is tomorrow at 2:45 p.m. if you want to join us!). The students also got time to finish their backdrops for the performance. I am excited to see how much effort they are putting into the backdrops and how they really are taking pride in their work.
During writing we finished writing our "How to Cook A Turkey" stories, which turned out very well. It is always fun to see how each student uses their very own recipe to cook their turkey. Keep an eye out in your student's bags tomorrow for a copy of this to be coming home with them! Definitely a great Thanksgiving read!
This afternoon we started learning about gallons, pints, quarts, and cups but making a friend for "Gallon Man" - a superhero who is very lonely. We will be finishing these projects tomorrow so Gallon Man won't be lonely anymore! He will have 13 new friends!
Third graders also received some really exciting news... we are getting 3 computers for the classroom! This will be an amazing addition to the room to be able to fit more technology integrated into the activities we do every day. This will also be a great motivator for students when they are doing their writing since they can publish on the computer and print their writing off. There is something about seeing your writing in print, as opposed to handwriting, that is incredibly motivating!
Hope you all have great evenings and can't wait to see you all tomorrow!
