Reading: We spent this week reviewing the parts of a fiction book. The students also worked on different language arts IXLs to review what we have learned this year.
The students recieved their last set of Latin/Greek words (can you believe the year is almost over??) They will test on these 4/20.
Third graders took their last spelling test. They ended the year on a great note, almost all the students got a 3 on the test!
Writing: We started the week with a writing called The Best Part of Me. These turned out really good. Come check them out in the hallway. On Wednesday we started another writing. The students each picked an inventor or entrepreneur. They will research and then write a paper on their chosen person.
Grammar: We are reviewing and retesting grammar standards we have covered this year.
Projects: We started a new project and I am so excited! The students got to choose their own groups with anyone from either our class or Mrs. WindRiver's class. Each group is given $100 to make a product to sell to the first graders. They will have to budget their time and money in order to succeed. They also need to make a commercial and a sign to advertise their products. The commercial and sign also cost money out of their budget so they need to plan for that as well. It is so much fun to watch their brains word to try to figure out the best way to be successful!
Misc. I sent home the last book order. They are due on Thursday.
I will be sending home a sign up genius soon to sign up for breakfast and treats. We will not be doing breakfast or treats the first week of testing because those are short timed tests. The last 2 weeks of testing are long days(the tests are not timed) so we like to make it fun with food and treats to get them through the day.
