May 3, 2010

Word of the day: adjacent

I must congratulate the class on the excellent story writing that was produced last week. This group of third graders has lots of talent! I've sent back last week's stories (with the exception of the stories of 4 people - we ran out of time to go over them today so their stories will go home tomorrow) so that folks at home can see all the wonderful things that I've commented on. Please return the stories (last week's and a good copy of this week's) by Friday. THERE IS NO NEED TO REDO LAST WEEK'S STORY! I just wanted the students to show them off and use them as a guide as to what to include in this week's effort. Thanks.

Reminders:
1. Practise math facts - especially the subtraction and addition ones on the Exam Bank link at the side.
2. Spelling due Thursday
3. Good copy of story due Friday

If you get a chance, drop in and take a peek at the beautiful butterflies that the class painted. They're flying all over the room! I've added some "butterfly emerging from chrysalis" videos. Have a look!





I've also added this video of a caterpillar undergoing its transformation. The whole process has been sped up quite substantially - apparently it took around 3 hours in reality.
