Back in the swing...

Welcome back!

Wow what a great vacation, but am I the only one who thinks it went by way too fast? We shared some of our favorites (and not-so-favorites) from our vacation and it sounds like next year Santa needs to stay away from clothes. :-)

It was so great to see everyone back. Yesterday was a little crazy with all the excitement of seeing our friends... today, not so much. We are all pretty sleepy. But we are right back into our regular routine. Here is what we are working on...

Math: Decimals! Yikes! Although, we are seeing the light turn on for many and are really getting a great grasp on things.

Writing: Building the paragraph. This is a huge skill for 3rd graders that works on taking our current stories and "beefing" them up a little.

Science: Magnets with Mrs. Clarey

Social Studies: Moving on to Unit 3 and learning about how people affect a community. We have had some VERY interesting conversations in only 1 day.

Reading: We have started small groups with myself. Our skill this week is author's purpose and irregular verbs.

Quick reminders:

Fargo Force reading calendars were due.

Snow gear needs to come to school every day. :-) It's cold out!
