The following post is written by my students.
Today in gym we worked on volleyball. It was fun. We did the same thing in gym on Monday that we did today. In gym we played games of volleyball and we practiced setting, bumping, and serving.
In class we are reading Ramona Quimby Age 8. It is about this girl who is finally in 3rd grade. She moved to a new school. She is NOT happy today because of what the teacher said about her. Ramona went to lunch in the story and cracked an egg on her head that she THOUGHT was boiled, but it wasn't. Ramona had to go to the office to clean it. Ms. Larson, the secretary, helped her clean up. While Ramona was in the bathroom in the office, she overheard Ms. Larson talking to Ms. Whaley, her teacher. Ms. Whaley said that Ramona was a show-off and a nuisance in the cafeteria. Being a nuisance means that you are being annoying and obnoxious. Ramona had not tried to be a show off or a nuisance. She was just trying to fit in with her friends. Ramona's MOM forgot to boil the egg. It wasn't Ramona's fault. Ramona felt very sad. She didn't want to go to class because she was afraid she would get made fun of and she didn't want to see her teacher.
IF that ever happened to us - we would tell our mom. We would feel heartbroken and very, very sad. We would probably just want to go home. BUT - that would never happen in Ms. Clark's class!
Next we read Time For Kids. In the magazine we read articles like "Tiny, Tiny, Dinosaur" about a REALLY tiny dinosaur that is no bigger than a cat. We also read "Its a Great Pumpkin" about a pumpkin that weighs almost 2,009 pounds. It won a competition and won $15,500 in prize money. We read "A Long Day" was about Chicago schools making their school days longer. They had the shortest school day in the country. Now they have a longer one. We liked reading this magazine.
These pictures are from recess. At recess today we played on the swings, played football, played with our friends and ran.
In class, we continued work on our number lines. We read a story about a boy named Carlos who turning 8. We have worked with the ages of the people in his family. We found out that we can add and subtract on a number line.
Then we reviewed money. We talked about pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. We learned a review cheer for quarters. (See movie. - OR just ask us to perform!)
Enjoy your day!
Thanks!
Clark's Class
We also did a money cheer to review money.
The picture was taken last Friday when the firefighters came to visit our school. This is our class. When the firefighters were here, they told us all the things we needed to know about what to do if we had a fire at our house or at school. For example, we need to know our address and street, we need to know our family meeting place, and we NEVER go back inside the fire. We learned that they are there to help us and when we see them they may look scary all dressed up, but they are the same people that came to talk to us. They were nice. Third grade EVEN got a Miller Bell because WE were the best class of students. We listed to the firefighters very well. They thought we were the best audience!
