Tuesday Notes:  Today was a big day in 306 and in HISTORY!  Our third graders were in the Herald Times!  After we read about ourselves in the newspaper, we checked out the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr web pages created by Mrs. Streib’s class and Mrs. Ritchey’s class.  Both classes were winners in the web page contest by MCCSC.  Then we read a book about Dr. King called Martin’s Big Words. We made a poster of some of Dr. King’s important words and messages.  We ate lunch together in our classroom and watched President Obama take the oath of office.  We took notes during his inaugural speech and then we made a poster called Barack’s Big Words. We also read a picture book about President Obama’s life.  Mr. Combs was our awesome speaker at our Dr. King convocation.  It was a great day to be together and learn more about our country and our government.

Wednesday Notes:  Today we welcomed our new gym teacher, Ms. Uchman to Fairview.  We had a great time at gym and art first thing this morning.  We worked in our reading sketchbooks and learned more about inferences.  We learned about equilateral, isoceles and scalene triangles.  We worked on SOUND experiments during science class.  When we put the tuning fork into water, it splashed.  When we touched the tuning fork to paper, it buzzed.  When we touched it to the ping pong ball, it bounced back and forth.  A wonderful day in 306.

Thursday Notes:  Our travellers have returned!  Today was busy.  After a lesson about adjectives, we worked on writing this morning.  We made SIGNS about our book, Listen To the Wind. After recess, we worked on literature circles.  The Stone Fox group met and talked about Little Willy’s feelings about Stone Fox.  We learned about QUADRANGLES in math class.  We are loving the HUGO CABRET book by Brian Selznick!
