Happy Thursday.  We had a great day despite the cold temperatures outside.  Thank goodness it looks like things are suppose to warm up next week while we are swimming.  Here are out swimming details:

11:45 board bus to Cranston
12:15 arrive at Cranston
12:15 -1:00 kids have lunch

This morning each child got a new set of Words Their Way.  I met with my largest group to talk about different spelling patterns.  These patterns include igh and y that sometimes says i at the end of a word like in try.

We also had time to work on our posters for the yearbook cover.  There is a contest currently going on and all grade 3s have the opportunity to create a picture that will then be voted on and possibly chosen for the cover of the yearbook.

In Math today we continued to work on comparing double digit numbers in word problems.  We were reminded to use the think, solve, answer strategy.  We also had lots of fun practicing our basic facts with the dice on the smartboard.

At the end of the day we worked with our buddies and started to create a piece of art work to go along with our speeches.

Have a wonderful evening!
