AWESOME DAY!!!!

Today we had a great day!

Almost everyone had ROCK STAR behavior! :)

We are finishing up capacity and we will have pictures of our gallon gals and guys up here soon.

There is a short quiz on capacity tomorrow and we are sooo ready!

In math we are working on probability. We discovered that we use probability quite often and don't realize it.

We also started our multiplication timed tests, and we are off to great start!

This week is a short week, No School on Friday!

Until next time,

Love the Eagles in Room 302

Hello!

We are lucky to have another person join us in our classroom! William Neel joined us today from Owensboro, KY. Welcome!

This week we are working on 3D Geometric shapes. Our test will be on Friday.

Don't forget next week is a short week. No school on Monday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

ISTEP is rapidly approaching. We are working very hard! It's very important that math facts are practiced at home every night. It is sooo helpful when working out problems to have a fluent background of the basic math facts!

Here's an ideas to make practice more fun:

*Addition/Subtraction/Multiplication War-play like traditional card game war only the first person to correctly answer the math problem wins that pair of cards.

You can find more ideas at:

Here are some fun pictures from this week:

Today we have been very busy!

We reviewed changing inches to feet and centimeters to meters.
We have also been talking about lines of symmetry and reflection.

In science we practiced using the balance scales and measured different objects with our science groups.

We are very excited to have a new student in our class. Ke'Juan Shelby is joining us from West Terrace Elementary. :)

This month and next month are very busy for us as we prepare for ISTEP. We need to make sure that we all come to school prepared to learn.

Tomorrow report cards will be coming home along with a report from Mrs. Gossman telling how we did in each topic that we studied. You may keep these reports, but please return the letter letting Mrs. Gossman know that you got them- as soon as possible.

Also Friday is our Field Trip to the Library. We will leave at 9 and return around 10:30. If you haven't turned in your $1 please do so soon.

Until tomorrow.....

AWESOME DAY IN ROOM 302

We got off to a rough start in Room 302. But with some encouragement and hard work we turned it around! Today we talked about Congruent and Similar shapes. We also talked about why standard measurement is needed. Imagine if we only measured things using whatever measurement system we wanted-like the size of a kings foot!
Tonight is a very important meeting for parents! 3rd graders have to take a test called I-Read. Our reading teachers Ms. Zimmer and Ms. Drew are hosting a meeting to tell the parents about the test. We really hope all the parents can make it!

Until tomorrow....

We got so busy yesterday that we lost track of time and didn't blog. :(
Today is the first day of November!
We took our post test on inverse operations.
The 3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th grade students all met in the gym this afternoon for an assembly. The assembly featured a guest speaker who talked to us about bullying. He was funny!
We were all a bit crazy today...Mrs. Gossman is hoping it's all the candy working it's way out of our system. Hopefully tomorrow we will be much calmer!
