April 19 - 23, 2021

 We had a good week wilth 3rd grade testing and lessons. Colonial Life, Biomes, and Environmental Sciences are the themes for cultural lessons. A fun geometry job involved shapes that changed postions with slides, flips, and turns that were labeled as transitions, reflections, and rotations. Presentations were also given for metric liquid measurements and for fractions relating to percentages. Third graders are learning about parts of a sentence (subject and predicate), second graders are practicing recognizing conjunctions, and first graders are labeling adverbs. Everyone is moving along with spelling words so remember to check their Google Classroom page for updated lists and to practice new words for Thursday tests. Have a safe and enjoyable weekend.

 My, my, how time flies. The 3rd quarter ended, we had Spring Break, and the school narrowly survived a tornado since the last post. The students did reviews and finished cultural studies and have now started new lessons on biomes, liquid measurement, circles, and persuasive writing. They continue to practice division, plurals, and reading charts. Third graders will be taking standardized tests next week. This is their first experience so we want everyone to be calm and help them use this time to see what tests are like without a lot of pressure. Everyone take care and have a safe and enjoyable weekend.
