Pajama Read-In

Happy Friday!

What a great day we had today! It all started with our big announcement to the whole school, "Congratulations to Mrs. Humerick's class for earning so many Soaring With Pride stickers! They will be celebrating with a Pajama Read In!

After that we settled right in with blankets, pillows, stuffed animals, donut holes, water, and some books. What a great way to celebrate! Please enjoy our pictures at the end of this post.



Next week: In Language Arts: We'll be starting to read some "Tall Tales". Paul Bunyan is great for exaggeration and hardships. Wednesday we'll end our Short Story unit and begin our Poetry unit.

Math: We're starting on Unit 3 - Collections and Travel Stories. Big numbers and place value are the focus. PLEASE practice those fact cards so we can move on to some others.

Science: We're still observing our chemicals when they're added to different liquids. We still haven't figured out what they are!

Writing: Bold Beginnings is our focus next week. How a writer "hooks" the reader at the beginning of the story.

Well, that's it for now, it doesn't seem like much, but I promise my plan book is FULL!

Be on the lookout for some papers explaining our collections in math and other holiday collections.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks for all you do to make your child's third grade year successful!

Mrs. Humerick
