This morning, we read through the script for our chapel message that we will give in November. The students got to write down their top three choices for which parts they would like to have. In Math, we started working on addition with regrouping using base-ten blocks. In Social Studies, we reviewed the states we've learned so far. Students need to be studying these at home. We also practiced reading a map and using medial directions.
This afternoon, we went over the vocabulary words for the week and took a look at the magazine article we'll read this week called Wild Shots, They're My Life. We read the headings and predicted what we thought each section would be about based on those headings and the pictures. After our spelling pretest, we went over the rules for making nouns plural:
Add -s to most nouns. (school - schools)
Add -es to nouns ending in ch, x, s, and sh. (church - churches)
If a noun ends with y, change the y to i and add -es. (puppy - puppies)
In Science, the students measured their plants and made predictions for how much they think it will grow in a day.
Pastor Mark will be teaching Christian Studies to the third graders on Thursday. I told the students to think of faith questions they might want to ask Pastor. You could talk to your child about questions for which you might be curious to know answers!
Staff from Lutherhaven will be here next Monday to do some fun activities with the third through fifth graders after school! It will go from 3:00 to 4:00.
Homework for today is...
