Weekend Game

The Warehouse is a tricky little math/strategy game. Put the box in their place, but make sure that you don't get a box stuck against the wall!

Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears

This is the story that we are reading this week and it is an African Tale. Here is a video of it read by James Earl Jones, who has such a cool sounding voice.

Caps for a Cure

A handout is coming home tonight about Caps for a Cure, which is being organized by Student Council. If a child brings in $1 by Friday, February 19th they can wear a hat to school the following Friday (Feb. 26). All the money from the proceeds will go to Relay for Life in Platteville.

HARRIET TUBMAN PROJECT CHANGE

The Harriet Tubman home project will be due on Monday, March 1st instead of Friday, February 26. This gives everyone one more weekend to work on it.

Harriet Tubman Home Project

Please choose one project to do at home. You may have help with your project.

*Design a quilt from either fabric or paper. This was
Harriet’s prized possession.

*Make a shoebox diorama of a scene from the book.

*Write a letter to Harriet Tubman.

*Draw a wanted poster of Harriet Tubman. Remember to
include key information: her description, what she is
wanted for, the amount of reward offered, etc.

*Make a model of Harriet’s log cabin. No legos, please.

*Draw a map of Harriet’s journey.

*Make a game.

*Do you have another idea? Please ask me about it before
you do it.

Gone Tomorrow

I'll be home with a sick child on Monday. There won't be any updates tomorrw for sure, but I wanted to give parents a heads up about an important project starting soon.

Please watch for the home project for Harriet Tubman which will be sent home on Tuesday. It's a fun project that the kids do along with our Harriet Tubman story. The project will be due on Friday, February 26th.

Scholastic Book Wizard

Now you can look up books at home to see what their reading level and/or lexile is for books that are at home. This goes along with the Reading Counts programs that we are doing at school. Each child should know what their lexile score is.

After typing in the book name, click on search. Then in the new website click on the name of the book. At the left will be the reading level and lexile of that book.

I also placed this resource at the bottom of the webpage so when this post goes off the page you'll still have access to it. It will always be at the very bottom of the page next to the hit counter.

Weekend Game

Here's a game to work on your geometry skills. Find the buried shape with the box around it in the picture and match it to the 3 dimensional shape at the bottom of the page.

Cursive Time

Beginning next week we will begin reading about Harriet Tubman during our old cursive time. We'll still practice cursive during our writing time and other language arts time though. This just gives the third grade a small block of extra time for social studies for the rest of the year.

Adjectives

We are learning about adjectives starting this week so we'll use another School House Rock video to help us learn about parts of speech.
