We had an energy-filled day today in third grade! I can tell that Santa is getting closer!
We did some quick math review for morning work. It covered multiple skills.
We also read another Christmas book and discussed it. The Year of the Perfect Christmas Tree is tonight's bonus read aloud. There is a special story to go along with this book. The author, Gloria Houston, was a friend of mine. One year she sent me a recording of herself reading the story. My class wrote her letters. Unfortunately, I didn't get them mailed until early the next semester. But it worked out well. As they arrived when Gloria was in the hospital at the time, unable to read or speak. She had multiple health issues. Her daughter wrote me a letter saying Gloria had died the day after she received our letters. She had read every single one to her in her hospital room. She said she smiled big smiles with tears in her eyes.
We also did some multi-digit math review. We practiced addition and math, with regrouping. We also reviewed strategies to help us.
We were busy, busy!
