No way are we one-fourth of the way done with 3rd grade!

We are wrapping up our first nine weeks!  Your children will be getting their first official report cards and I think the grades represent their understanding and their effort.

Coming up we have red ribbon week, if you want we will be dressing ...
Monday - Team Jerseys
Tuesday - Boots
Wednesday - Dress crazy (or wear red if you are Mrs. Shogan)
Thursday - Picture Day
Friday - Tie-Dye and Peace Signs

We rolled out a new approach to homework using the million dollar program I-Station.  Kids had a few questions about where programs were located.  I-station must be downloaded according to the directions on the bright yellow letter.  Think Through Math can be accessed through the school website under "Resources for Students" and Xtra Math can be found on my website under "Links for Students" on the right hand side.  You will have to scroll the symbaloo grid to see it.  You can always go directly to www.xtramath.com but you will have to enter my email address in the first time and then bookmark it.

This is new, so please give me your thoughts about this as part of the 3rd grade homework packet.

The kids loved the vampire game for solar energy, that too is on my symbaloo grid towards the left hand side with a black background.

We learned sound energy is caused by vibrations, but the kids loved seeing how different pitches created different patterns in this clip
