Today was a fun day! The third graders put on a WONDERFUL chapel about America, and then they did a parade showcasing the state that they studied. This went along GREAT with our unit on America! After the parade, our class sang "5o Nifty United States!"
The children accomplished so much this week! Here are just a few highlights of what they did:
*Bible - We continued learning Ephesians 6:10-18 and discussing it. We also started reading "A Life God Rewards" for kids. Ask your child to tell you about it!!!
*Reading - As always, we did LOTS of silent independent reading and practiced using reading strategies!
*Reading/Social Studies - We continued our unit "Our Country and Its People." This week we read a selection all about the Statue of Liberty! We are also reading a biography about Barack Obama!
*Math - This week we reviewed perimeter and area and practiced finding the perimeter of graham crackers using Cheese-Its. FUN! We ALSO spent LOTS of time learning our 7's! We sang a song, learned to skip count, played games, and practiced on the Smart Board! Next week we will spend the ENTIRE WEEK learning our 8s. Please be sure to practice at home each night! Next Thursday, we will have a timed test on our 8s!!!
*Writing - We continued to write friendly letters to our classmates!!!
