Martin Luther King

We have enjoyed learning about Martin Luther King Jr. this week. We have listened to part of his I Have A Dream Speech. We have read a biography about him and come up with our own dreams for a better world. Ask your child to show you what their dream was. We've also read a biography about James Naismith, the man who invented basketball. We are getting excited to see everyone's biography posters next week!

Lunch with the Teacher!

Wednesday we did lunch with the teacher for all those students who improved their test scores in Subtraction. We are getting ready to take our second test on Multiplication Meanings in our Math Differentiation Groups. A big Yahoo to those who improved their scores or stayed at 100%. We celebrate ANY improvement!!

Biography Book Reports

 

The next several weeks will be full of biographies as we study in class about Americans, famous American women, and many other people who made a difference for good in the world.  Students should choose book report books on their reading levels about people they are not already familiar with.  Above is a picture of biography book reports completed by past third grade students.  Below is a list of things that should be included on each child's poster.  Biography book reports are due Thursday, January 31st.  Happy Reading!

Requirements: 

• On a poster board, draw a large picture/caricature of the individual whose biography you read. 
• The illustrations must be done by hand, by the students, and neatly colored.
