Third graders learn about contractions


We had a very busy day today.  We started with some silent reading.

We listened to chapters 5 and 6 from Sarah, Plain an Tall.  We also answered questions over just those chapters.

I gave them a page with a picture from the story and they had to write about what was happening and who was in the picture.

In math added money, but had to know different shapes in order to figure out the problems.  They had to do some extra thinking today.


 In spelling we added apostrophes to contractions.  We discussed how the apostrophes take the place of letters that are omitted.  For example, do not is don't as a contraction.  The apostrophe takes the place of the o in not, as it is left out.

In science we took core samples from our sandwiches.

In social studies we started our Oklahoma research.

It is an awesome, but rare, day when we can squeeze in science AND social studies.
