NEWS FROM ROOM 13 - OCTOBER 30, 2008

Curriculum:

We’re growing bean, corn, and peas in class for science. Our fist science unit. “Living Systems” we are studying plants and animals. We have live crayfish, and the kids are enthusiastically learning about our new class pets.

This goes along very nicely with our Open Court Unit on City Wildlife. Students will begin Writing a report in class, and studying urban habitats in November.

In math we are reviewing multiplication facts 1-5, and moving on to learn x facts 6-10.

Sincerely,
Ms. Hill-Roy

Book Character Day

Book Character Day
September 24, 2008

In September, the third graders will participate in Book Character Day! They dress up as their favorite book characters from their favorite book. The student writes down five clues and the audience makes a guess as to whom they are.

An example follows:

I am a girl.

There is a series of books about me.

I lived in the big woods.

I have two sisters.

I am a pioneer.

( Answer: Laura Ingalls Wilder )


Please do not buy anything, just use your creativity. This is a fun activity. I will dress up too.
