This was a birthday kind of day. As you can see in the pictures above, one of the things we did today was to celebrate Dr. Seuss’ birthday. This is something that Mrs. Mark and I do every year together. The children went over to room 5 where Mrs. Mark and I paired first and third graders. The children then took a Dr. Seuss quiz together, and we discussed the answers. We had a lot of perfect scores, indicating that the children really know and love these books. The children then read Dr. Seuss books — Mrs. Mark has a big collection of them — to each other. We had a lot of fun!
After recess, we heard a gentleman from the credit union talk about the history of money. He was very nice, but talked a little too long for our third grade attention span. In the afternoon, we read about the periodic table — a subject which seems to particularly fascinate many of our students — and we started our math assignments.
As I said before, it was a birthday kind of day, and we had two students who shared birthday cupcakes with us! Your children should be on a first-class sugar high coming home today!
Homework: (1) Study spelling. (2) Do Science Vocabulary, page c36, numbers 1-11 only. (3) Do “Adding and Subtracting Decimals,” Math, pages 541-543, numbers 2-39. Number 28 is extra credit.
In addition, a few students need to finish the “Oral History” questions that they did in the morning as well as the page from the Inquiry Journal where they discussed what the “Carving the Pole” and “Oral History” helped them learn about the theme of storytelling.
