Once you make it past October, November flies by very quickly! Soon we will be stuffed with turkey and dressing! We have had a blast here in third grade! The past month, we have:
- finished our Motion and Design unit in science and started on magnets
- made fancy hot chocolate and wrote an expository "how-to" essay
- written an opinion piece on what Clark should wear for Halloween
- dressed up for Red Ribbon Week
- had a Halloween room transformation where students:
- solved math review problems and go to "trick or treat"
- the treats involved some candy, pencils, and erasers
- the tricks involved sticking hands into mystery bags, such as "witches warts"
- made glow-in-the-dark models of their hands
- shared their pumpkin dressed as a book character
- learned about Veteran's Day through a brochure and book activity
- learned about point of view and comparing/contrasting two fiction passages
- learned about helping and linking verbs
- finished learning/being introduced to all multiplication facts
- participated in a magnet activity with Dr. G where they had to use four magnets to make a nail spin (see Instagram for fun video!)
