We had an awesome start to our week. We continued with our Fraction Unit. Students have been progressing nicely and I'm pleased with their progress. We practiced a third grade informational reading and explanatory writing performance task. Students will share their work tomorrow morning in class.
We will write our fourth immigration journal entry this week. Students will be writing from the perspective of an immigrant, on the steamship, crossing the ocean. Information pertaining to the Ellis Island simulation went home on 3/12. A $2.00 donation was requested from each student to help with the food court items. Please send money in by March 27th. Our simulation takes place on April 1st.
We are so lucky to have Gary Sredzienski visit our school this week. He is an incredible speaker who focuses on his family's migration from Poland. He plays various accordions for students and takes them on a journey through time with photographs, stories and music. Students will have the opportunity to hold and play all of his instruments.
Our spelling rule this week involved the changing y to i pattern. There were three rules concerning this pattern. Students will have a Spelling Cafe choice each night for homework.
Students will have a one-sided math assignment each night for homework.
Have a fabulous week! :)
