We love third grade!

This week flew! We have had so much fun with our simulation! It is great to feel the excitement in the air. This week we grew corn, built houses, traded beads and trinkets. We lost some colonists along the way but things are looking up! We will finish our simulation with a small feast.

Working on building houses:

Third graders are doing an awesome job with their "good fit" books. We conference daily and have followed up with a turkey book report. I am very please with their choices and love listening to their conversations. 

We also did a 3,4, 5 wing project on Monday. The students listened to "The Giving Tree," which was read by Shel Silverstein. If you have not read this book check it out! They then wrote about a person that is giving to them and how they could be more giving.

Have a wonderful weekend!
