Class studies the Trail of Tears


We had another great day in third grade!

We started with some place value review.

In reading we read a nonfiction passage about the Trail of Tears, and then a fiction passage that was written from the point of view of a child on the same trip.  We compared/contrasted.  We also answered questions and used text to show why we answered the way we did.

We were given some time to work on Poetry Ringo.  The we worked more with commas.  Today we used them after phrase or clauses so that a sentence would make sense.  For example:  When the mosquitoes came out in went the people.  Without commas, it makes no sense.  But when written correctly it does.  "When the mosquitoes came out, in went the people." Another way we practiced using commas today was at the end of an introduction clause.  "Although this is my first year at Will Rogers I feel like it is home."  This one is incorrect.  "Although this is my first year at Will Rogers, I feel like is home." This one is correct. 

In math we did a dry erase board review.  Then we played a game using the buzzers.  They had to work the problem then be the first one to tap the buzzer and have the correct answer.

Thank you for those that returned paperwork today.  Don't forget that the orders for the class book are due by next Wednesday.  Even if you aren't ordering a book, I have to have proof that I offered it to every family.
