On Monday, we had the privilege of hearing from Josiah's dad, Joey! He talked about the importance of eating healthy (we should aim for only 20 grams of sugar per day) and staying active (check out seven minute workouts)! Thanks for motivating and making us smile Mr. Traywick! :)
On Tuesday, author and pilot, Andrea Coppik came and talked with all the third graders. She wrote the book Georgia Goes to Lunch, which she read to the students. I loved hearing her speak; what an inspiration to follow your dreams!
Recess fun! I sure am going to miss watching this group laugh and play!
Some students from the Career Center came and taught the students about the Immune System. It was neat to see the high schoolers' creativity in their games and books.
Most students (with the exception of a few) are DONE with their Smarter Balance Testing! Woo hoo! It was a looooong week for me, and I wasn't the one answering hours and hours worth of questions! Kuddos to my fabulous students for persevering and doing their very best!
This week we will continue on with Book Clubs and reviewing skills such as monitoring our comprehension, making connections, visualizing, and finding figurative language in our books.
In math, we will dig deeper into comparing and ordering fractions, which is Chapter 9 in our Go Math series.
In science, we will be making a compound machine (two simple machines combined) for PLTW.
On Tuesday, we will spend from 9-11 outside participating in Field Day. Thanks to Mr. Pertuit for organizing this FUN event! It is always one of my favorite days of the whole year.
Thank you to those parents who have taken the time to fill out and complete the survey I sent home. Your feedback is much appreciated!
Also, please keep your eyes peeled at home for "old" toys/games/items that could be donated to our Classroom Auction! The kids are getting excited to spend their money! :)
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! I am looking forward to enjoying some much-needed sunshine!
Code Word: Field Day!
