Good News! Tomorrow our class will be growing by one when we get our newest student named Cole. We are all really excited to meet him and can't wait to have a new friend in the school. Plus, now we are at 14 students which makes us at an even number. We couldn't be happier! :)
Today we finished our look at the muscular system in the body. To do so, the students completed 7 different activities and had to identify which muscles they were using to do them. Some of the activities were a basic crunch, lifting a can of soup, or even getting on their tippy toes! The students did a great job and it was definitely fun to watch! :)
Today we also started our book reports for the book club books we have been reading. These book reports will be worked on at school every day and will probably be due Monday or Tuesday of next week, depending on how things go tomorrow when we really start talking about the projects themselves.
Tonight for homework students have phonics workbook pages, if they did not finish that in class, and a practice vocabulary packet.
Next week (as a sneak preview) we will be starting a new social studies unit of study about the pioneer life and Westward Expansion. I can't wait to start this unit since it's one of my favorite lessons in school!
Lastly, congratulations third graders for being the cleanest elementary classroom again this week! We won and completed out SPIRIT letters and we get our reward next week. What is the reward? Well come bright and early tomorrow morning and we will be discussing and voting on our reward! :) See you tomorrow!
