This morning, we worked on multiplying by nine.  We wrote all the facts in order and talked about the patterns and some tricks you can use to figure out the answer to a x9 fact.  We reviewed how to use a related fact to help you solve a multiplication fact.  In Social Studies, we did a review of the 50 states and shared information about what we've learned about the Southwest Native Americans. 

This afternoon, we started talking about action verbs.  Our spelling words this week are all compound words.  In Art, we listened to the song "An American in Paris" and came up with a picture of what it makes of think of.  We took a look at the painting Avenue du Bois and pointed out which parts of the painting match parts of the song. 

A note is coming home about a second field trip to Chenoweth House.  If you are interested in driving, fill out and return the bottom part of the note.  A note about Family Fun Night is coming home today too! 

Re-Enrollment Night is tomorrow at 6:30.  Third graders can bring a game to play in our classroom during that time!  Friday is Grandparent's Day.  Let me know if your child doesn't have a grandparent (or someone to act as one) so I can make sure they will be paired up with someone! 

Homework for today is to read for 20 minutes and to get started working on the memory and spelling.  The tests will be on Thursday this week because of Grandparent's Day on Friday.
