Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2013! We have many fun adventures planned for the beginning of this new year! We will be having a special guest in our classroom, Ms. Laib, our student teacher! She will be with us until the end of April. In January, we will be working on publishing books through an online site. You will get a free copy of your child's book, with the option to purchase more. Our class will celebrate becoming published author's through our first publishing party! (More information to follow)

We are starting Chapter 6 in our Math in Focus series! Your 3rd grader will become experts on basic multiplication facts. During our CAFE time we, will be adding our 5th daily...Word Work! The kids are very excited about this. We will be working on making connections to text, using background knowledge to make predictions, studying the author/illustrator Chris Van Allsburg, and discovering new vocabulary in our read a loud The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane
