The Adventure Continues

Happy Friday, everyone! We have successfully made it through the second week of school, and I am so proud of our third graders. We continue to practice routines and procedures, and grow a little more each day. This week's adventures include:

• Place value to the thousand's place
• Numbers in word form and expanded form
• Introducing our Spelling Center in Literacy
• Different types of land forms 
• Google Maps "World Tour" of famous land forms around the globe
• Continued discussion of our "7 Habits of Happy Kids" by Stephen Covey. We are up to Habit #3!
• Our first spelling test!

In other highlights, we discussed the BOG that students will take Tuesday September 9. (Next week) We used a practice activity to learn what the test will look like and feel like, in hopes that everyone will feel more comfortable on test day. From bubbling answers to using the text to help us, we covered it all! 

Please also remember that our MClass testing window is now open. Students may know this as "iPad testing." :-) It is very important that students are well-rested and in attendance each day so teachers can complete testing by September 25. There are several different literacy assessments to take, and we want everyone to try their very best! 

Have a happy, restful weekend!!
