Wednesday, May 8

Oh happy day! Today, in Math, we played and scored our board games. Students had to play and score at least 2 of their peers' games. (They were a lot tougher on each other than I thought they would be...) Tomorrow, we are moving on to a new topic in Math. The character in Lawn Boy, we don't know his name, found out that he has made over $58,000! Wow! We needed to discuss how stocks and investments work a little but they got the basic idea. In Reader's Workshop, we went over abbreviations and discussed some online safety from a TFK we read/completed. Then, we read travel brochures and looked at components of them. FInally, we created a template for creating a travel brochure for this class for the upcoming 4th grade students. In Writing, hopefully, more kiddos were able to finish their Chris Van Allsburg responses... others wrote freely and practiced their cursive handwriting. The state has chosen NOT to incorporate cursive into the new Common Core standards so this is the last year for that. We ended our day with Guidance with Mrs. Vidic.
