Weekly Wrap Up

We made it through MAP testing week! We are a lucky group... we're the only third grade class at Mill Creek to be finished with MAP testing :) Again, thank you all so much for your support!

We will have our field trip to The Candy Factory (http://www.thecandyfactory.biz/) on Monday. We will be there from about 10:00 - 11:00. Thank you for all the volunteers. We are excited for Lucy's mom, Andrew's mom, and Matthew's mom to join us for the trip as we kick off our learning about economics! It will be neat to see a business producing and providing a good to consumers. We will be starting our own classroom economy this month, too! The kids have filled out job applications, interviewed, and have been hired for various classroom jobs. They will earn a paycheck each week... if they do their job ;)

Book orders for April are in Friday folders today. I will submit the order on the 17th. Feel free to order online! The class code is on the top order form. There will be one more in May before summer break (that sentence feels weird to say... how is it almost May already?!?).

Miss Rutz came and taught us about poultry yesterday. She requested if anybody planted their glove gardens, if they could take a picture and send it in, she'd love to see the growing results! Just e-mail them to me and I will forward them on to her.

Reading logs are coming home tonight. We had a week off this week due to MAP testing, but we are going to get back into our routine and continue learning and working hard until the end of the year.

Specials next week:
Monday - Art
Tuesday - Media
Wednesday - PE
Thursday - Music
Friday - Art

I think that about covers it. Keep reading for Brandon's review of the week!

Dear Families,                                                4-10-15

This week we had a lot of work for one we had the map test which a lot of people did their best but I did too! We also did some real math for a change we did a fun thing but ‘s also pretty productive  we had to design house’s and find the area of each room and once the kiddo’s were done with that than we had to add the total area up I got the total answer right the first time I did 25 times 24 equals 600 so than that was my total answer! Another thing we did is the pacer test yeah I know it’s hard but Andrew and Lucy both did over fifty four and so did a few other kiddo’s  so your definitely getting your money’s worth I mean what other school gets to use tech? we also learned about poultry with miss.rutz we ate hard boiled eggs which are not my favorite at all but a few kiddo’s ate the whole thing which was pretty awesome that there getting some protein in their stomachs since school lunches don’t serve protein well they serve not enough protein for a kiddo.

Anyways my arm is getting tired so I think that means that my work here is done

Sincerely,

Brandon
