The second week of back to school has come to an end. The students are getting used to their routines, and still learning new ones, but our Talented Third Graders are doing a fantastic job. I'm so happy to be their teacher this year.

A Spelling Test was the first thing we did today. Following the test was Show and Tell. We had a great variety of object brought in to show, and they came from different countries!  They included: Canada, Japan, Korea, USA, France.

      

The math quiz was after PE, followed by some minor housekeeping.

After lunch, the students continued to work on their charts and bar graphs from the data they collected from their surveys. Fine work, kids! Great teamwork!
