Writing homework due

Writing homework describing a pair of mittens is due tomorrow.

Contractions - the topic of a classroom game we played today.  In grade 3 we are responsible for being able to use an apostrophe to form a contraction.  So we watched a little video clip about contractions and then the apostrophe, brainstormed some words and played some games.
We were also in the library this morning so everyone has fresh reading materials for 20/10 tonight.

We took care of some problem solving in math.  I modeled for students how to think through a story problem using multiplication, we worked together to solve another problem, then students tried on their own at the carpet to share their thinking and solve.  Students then went and solved a new problem on their own.  Much like our morning sticker math but this model of thinking requires they show all their thinking including the picture they hold in their head.

No school Friday -
