What's new in 3M?

Hello 3M families! 

I hope you had a great weekend - the weather sure was beautiful! 

Here's what's going on this week in 3M .....

-  Social Studies Quiz on the hemispheres on Tuesday.  The kids have been learning about the four different hemispheres.  We'll do a few more activities today to practice, and then we'll take a quiz on Tuesday.  Kids can use the packet we've been working on in Social Studies to help them take the quiz.  It would be great to review the ideas in the packet tonight with your student. 

-  Johnny Appleseed's Birthday will be celebrated on Friday.  Please have your student bring in a peeled, cored, and sliced apple in a Ziplock bag on Friday so we can make applesauce.  Can anyone supply 25 bowls, 25 spoons, or napkins for this celebration?  Please let me know!  Thanks so much! 

-  We had our first Book Menus due.  The kids have been reading books in class, and then they worked on activities about the books.  They conferenced with Mrs. Forsman and got graded for the first time on these activities.  This was a good first learning experience about how to choose proper books, how to manage class time, and how to work towards a goal.  Please check out Mrs. Forsman's blog to learn more about the grades and this process:  http://taniaforsman.blogspot.com/

Have a great week, and please contact me with any questions!
