Popper's Penguins


The next couple of weeks in language arts will be very busy.  We just finished reading the classic, Mr. Popper's Penguins as our read aloud story.  On Monday the whole third grade will watch the movie too.  We will then write a compare and contrast paragraph of the two.  This will take all of next week and some of the following week.

  • Because of the video on Monday, we won't start our spelling until Tuesday.  The spelling pretest will be sent home on Tuesday, Feb. 19.
  • Our story for the next two weeks will be the Crowded House.  This is the second play we do in third grade.  Next week we'll read the play and pick parts.  We'll dig into creating the play the following week.  The play itself will be on Friday, March 1.  I will get a specific time next week, but it will be in the morning.
  • We also have our next unit test coming up in the next two weeks.  I am hoping to start the test at the end of next week and finish it the following week.
  • We won't have a spelling list the week of Feb. 25-March 1.  Between finishing our unit test and doing the play we will be plenty busy!
