The end of the 1st quarter

I hope everyone had a wonderful fall break! I know I did!  

Conferences: Be on the lookout for a sign up genius this week to sign up for a conference spot.  Conferences will be on Friday November 4th.  

Reading:  A lot of groups finished up their books before fall break.  When we come back I am really going to be pushing restating the question when answering and using evidence based terms when answering. They will be taking a Latin/Greek test on Thursday.  Please make sure your child is studying for this test. 3rd graders will be receiving their new spelling words on Monday.  

Writing:  We finished up our last opinion writing.  The students wrote about whether they think store bought or homemade costumes are better.  We will be doing narrative writing in the 2nd quarter.

Projects:  We finished up our catapult project.  This was such a great project thanks to the help of so many parents!  The students all did such a great job, from planning, to making a prototype, to building the big catapult.
