I am so very proud of our class for their generous contributions to the Canned Food Drive this week. We have exceeded our class goal with 105 cans! The drive ends next Tuesday, so there is time left to send in more. The top class earns a special treat. Thank you so much for all of your donations. What an awesome opportunity for our kids to help those in need.
In math this week, we studied multiplying numbers by multiples of 10. The kids did a great job with this concept! Next week, we will begin learning how to find the area of rectangles using tiling. We will also take our 5s Facts multiplication quiz next Thursday. Next week we are diving into our Native American Tribes study. The kids will have the opportunity to rotate through all seven 3rd grade classrooms where they will learn about the tribes of a specific region from each teacher. The students started today with their homeroom teachers, which means our class got to learn about the Inuit tribes of North America from me. Ask your child about dunking their hands in icy water today. We finished up the book Because of Winn Dixie this week. The kids and I both were sad too see it end. What a wonderful book! Kate DiCamillo is an excellent author. If you are looking for a good book to cozy up and read with your child, I highly recommend her. The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane is another title of hers that I just love. We will be watching the movie version of Because of Winn Dixie next Friday to compare the book and the movie. Coming up next week: Monday - Veterans Day Program (4th and 5th Only) - We do not have a speaker scheduled to come to our classroom, but if you or a veteran you know would like to come and share with us next week, please let me know. Tuesday - Canned Food Drive Ends Thursday - The Bravest Worrier author's visit November 19 - 23 - Thanksgiving Break
