*I am back to teaching! Ms. Wilham will conclude her math unit this week.

This morning was a bit crazy! We had our school wide spelling bee! Malak represented our classroom wonderfully and stayed in the fight through 11 tough rounds! In the end, a super spelling in 3rd grade won!  This took up much of our morning - an hour and a half to be exact! So, we did not get science or SS in today and just a little bit of reading!  Don't worry, we will catch up this week!

We also did not have RtI time due to our Chorus Concert! GREAT JOB to Ryleigh and Hannah.  They perform tonight at 6:30, too! :)

We are also coming to a close on our unit.  This was the first unit in which we made the changes to our schedule and the way we were teaching. I can't say enough of how much I have valued this process.  I think the students are learning so much more in ways I didn't even know possible! We will have our tests this week (see below) and begin our next unit on Monday.

SS Test - Wednesday (extended responses, no study guide)
Fossils Test - Thursday (study guide will be provided)
Reading/Language Test - Friday (students have their 'new unit vocab.' sheet to look/practice from)

HW for tonight:
Vocab. - finish section A unless finished in class
Reading Packet - finish unless finished in class
Math - finish exit slip if not in class
