Our last swimming trip is this Tuesday, May 8th. We will again leave Jeffers at 8:50. (There are a few snapshots below. I hope to share more after Tuesday.) Also, our field trip to Connor Bayou is this Thursday. A sack lunch will be needed. I will send a reminder email on Wednesday.

This past week we worked on rounding, adding with the partial sums method, and the traditional algorithm of adding. We are on our last math topic this year! This gives us time to review concepts and take a sneak peek at some 4th grade math.

In our writing, we are writing an All About book on our animals we have been researching. Students have the option of either publishing their “book” in the app, Book Creator, or publishing a paper version.

We are also wrapping up our research unit in reading. Students have been comparing and contrasting animals, developing questions from their research, and developing theories to help answer their questions. There is great thinking going on!

In science, we focused on the parts of the flower and how pollination occurs.

Our MSTEP, State assessment, days are the mornings of May 15 and 16. The 17th will be used if more time is needed.

Check out these AMAZING kids!
