Reading: This week we finished the author studies (3rd) or litature studies (4th). They presented them to eachother. Something we learned from this project in 3rd grade was using time wisely. A lot of the groups didn't work on their assisgnment until the last minute, so their work was not as good as what they are capable of doing.
We will have a spelling test on 12/3.
Writing: We worked through the writing process on another narrative piece. They has to write about what they would do if the stores all ran out of turkey and their parents wanted to eat their pet turkey.
Grammar: We learned about types of sentences.
Projects: We finished our catapult project. I was so proud of our class. They built amazing catapults without any adult help. There was a lot of trial and error, and a few tears, but they did it!!
Misc.: We only have 3 weeks until Christmas break. Be on the lookout for an email about a Christmas activity I want the class to do. I can't beleive the school year is already almost half way over!
