Happy March!

I hope that you all had a wonderful vacation and are feeling refreshed and ready for our last semester of third grade! It was great seeing you all at conferences last week. If you were unable to attend and would like to try to reschedule, please send me an email.

This week we took time to review our classroom/school rules and expectations. Students really showed that they are ready for the challenge of the last semester. In math, we started our unit on fractions and finished up visualizing and making mental images in reading. We will be working on inferring next week and will be reading more nonfiction in our reading groups. In science, we will be learning about the human body.

Today we worked with a buddy in Ms. McGrains’s class to learn more about google documents and e-mail. Students are really motivated to learn more. I have added a link called EMAIL under Blogroll where students can practice emailing friends or myself. Please remind them to be appropriate and follow the rules we discussed in class. We will continue to work on this next week.

Have a wonderful weekend!
