Clark's 3rd Grade Class : Our busy week....

This week has been a busy week!

In reading we were reading the final chapters of Ramona Quimby, Age 8. She was doing a book report on a book that she didn't like. So she decided to sell it like a TV commerical. Some of the words she used were words that were not all the way true like "This book makes ALL kids smile." and "Kids ask for this book by NAME!". Ramona forgot what she was going to say at the end of her book report so she said the only thing that popped into her head and it was, "I can't believe I read the WHOLE thing!"
Later, Ramona went to the restaurant and this guy asked her if she had been nice to her mother. Ramona thought that it was none of his business. But when the family was ready to pay - the waitress said that the man had already paid for their food. This made the family feel surprised because Ramona hadn't acted very nice to him and he still thought they were a good family and paid for them. Ramona's family didn't have a lot of money so they felt lucky.

In math we have been working on subtraction, addition, and graphing. Some of us liked working with the bar graph because it was fun to try to figure out the questions with the information shown. We had to use the information to make a bar graph, too. Some of us liked addition. The following picture is of some of us subtracting and adding on a number line.

This week we also had fun drawing math problems on our desk with dry erase markers! Some of our desks were stained a color but eventually our desk will be clean.

At lunch today we told jokes. Some of us didn't like our lunch because our apples were not great. Mrs. Clark got to eat with us because we had a different schedule today. Some of our jokes were really funny. Like:
Q: Why did Perry the Platypus cross the road?
A: Because the chicken had the day off.

Knock, Knock.
Who's there?
Cow go.
Cow go who?
NO! Cow go MOO!

Knock, Knock.
Who's there?
Owls.
Owls who?
THAT's RIGHT! Owls WHOO!

Q: What did the casket say to the other casket?
A: Was that YOU coffin??

Q: Where do library books sleep?
A: Under their covers!!

Today we went outside and we played with the 5th graders! It was COLD outside! Below is a picture of some of us with RED faces!

In gym today we played Survivor. It is one of our favorite games. We get a ball and throw it at another person. If we get hit, we are out and another team mate goes in. We also did speed stacks. Speed stacks are little cups that you stack up into a tower and then quickly race to stack and un-stack. It is fun to race other people.

We also had Fun Friday. We get Fun Friday sometimes when we have time for it. Sometimes we are really busy so we don't get to it. BUT - sometimes we do. We can play computers, write on the board and blog. We get Fun Friday because we are an AWESOME class!

It is homecoming and our football reader, Aaron came to read to our class a book called Monster Mash! We loved the book! The picture below is of our class with Aaron and his football poster. We wished him good luck!
