Nov. 17, 2016: Thursday

Good afternoon/evening everybody!  Well, I think our Talented Third Graders are all ready for the Student Showcase. They have worked so hard at home remembering their lines (with the help of you parents, thank you), and also in school practicing the play itself. The puppets look amazing, too.

This morning in Language/Reading, we used verbs in the past tense and practiced the end sounds. We then worked on our puppets for the play.

In Social Studies, we explained the duties of local government and had a city council meeting where they had to vote on a new law. We also reviewed to prepare for the quiz on Monday.

 

In Math, we used probability to decide if a game is fair or not.

HOMEWORK:
1) Science flip flap book - vocabulary words: habitat, community, ecosystem, population. Under the flap, please write the definition and draw a picture of that word.
2) LA - verb hunt - when you complete your reading for the Reading Log, please find 5 sentences in your book that have a past tense verb. Write the sentences in your notebook.
3) Practice your lines for the play one last time - remember to speak slowly and clearly

NOTICES:
- tomorrow is the last day to hand in your Thanksgiving Lunch form. I still need a few more, please.
- tomorrow is Student Showcase!  Please come and watch the DISK students give you a wonderful performance. It will begin at 2pm, so you may arrive anytime after 1:45pm and find a place in the gym. We hope to see you there.
- Spelling Test tomorrow
- please return your quizzes with a parent signature

Thank you.

Have an excellent evening!
