There is nothing more exciting than having a normal day at school and then the power flickers off...and stays off. What excitement we had as our morning went on without any power! Fortunately, it was a nice, sunny day and our room stayed warm and light enough to continue working! But there was some curiosity about school with no lights. ("How DO we go to the bathroom?!") Everything went very smooth and the lights were on before we headed to lunch!
Here are some OTHER things that are going on in our classroom this week! :) Reading We have started to talk about cause and effect. Reading groups will be put on hold next week as I give DRA's to students before the end of the quarter. Writing We working on our district writing prompt this week and students wrapped up today! What will we do with the remaining week and a half until Spring Break!?! POETRY! It is such a fun unit but unfortunately, it isn't a 3rd grade standard anymore. (So we have to find somewhere to squeeze it in!) Math We started a new unit on fractions. This week we have reviewed numerators, denominators, how to write a fraction that represents a whole number. We have some pretty fun and hands on activities to do with fractions! I am excited for this unit! Science We had a very short week last week so we had to wrap up talking about the sun and revolution and rotation. This week, we will start to talk about the moon and patterns we see with the moon.
