Math: Two possibilities tonight: the reteach/practice page OR the reading strategy/challenge page. We should be moving into more complex multiplication and division strategies tomorrow and beyond...stay tuned!

Language Arts: We developed our understanding as to how authors encourage their audience to "suspend their disbelief."

Perfect Paper Airplanes - They should reread the story and complete the two question prompt in their RRJs.

Charlotte's Web - They should complete the reading (ch. 3-5) in preparation for tomorrow's discussion as to how E.B. White encourages us to suspend our disbelief.

William and Mary - They must identify which change generalization applies to their life and explain why using specific examples. We will be using this support to compose persuasive paragraphs tomorrow.

Spelling is due Friday! We are exploring the "are" pattern with the /air/ or /ar/ sounds. As always - if you discover more challenging (and appropriate) words for your student's list - be my guest!

Science: All of 3rd grade will plant herbs tomorrow to be monitored and nurtured in the classroom "greenhouses." Hopefully the heat accelerates some of the germination and we can have harvestable herbs towards the end of the year. This is this year's extension project - but we will continue to care for the garden project from last year's class...
