The VIP of the week is Danny. Danny's favorite number is 1, flower is the daffodil, and television show is Tom and Jerry. He likes December, Monopoly and McDonalds. He enjoys dogs, Saturdays and football. His friends are Grant, Noah, and Josh. His birthday is on Wednesday. Have a great week Danny!

This week in math we are continuing with place value. On Wednesday we begin one of the hardest concepts in math: ROUNDING and ESTIMATION! Rounding is very difficult for the children. We will be working on it for a week. Please help your child in any way you can. Don't stress out if they don't 'get it'. They may not be ready yet for the concept. They will also be working on rounding and estimation in fourth and fifth grade.

We are continuing our story Lost and Found. This week we will read it with partners, work on the key vocabulary, and figure out what a fantasy genre is. As you know fantasy is imaginative conceptualizing. Or as I tell the kids, a story that could never, ever happen. (For some reason they understand that better.) On Friday they will be taking a test on Lost and Found. Check out this website for some cool stuff to do with our story.

In grammar we are continuing with complete sentences. The kids are definately understanding what to do, it's just doing it that seems to be a struggle for some of them. Next week we will be studying nouns.

We are don't with science and moving onto American History. I have a few lesson plans lined up that will be fun and interesting for the kids. If you want to know what standards I am covering you can check out this website.
