This week we each got a mentor text in writing. A mentor text is a book that helps and teaches you how to be a good writer.  

In Mrs. Tripp's math class, we started using a "Math Menu." Each week we have to complete daily work every day and then we have to at least complete 2 out of 4 math problems by Friday. Then the teacher signs off on our work and we get a sticker. We want our families to know that we are learning about place value up to the thousands.

In Ms. Plaskvo's math class, we've started to choose Sunshine Math, IXL, Math Forum, and multi-step word problems.

We also want our families to know that next week we are making Thanksgiving Baskets. Third graders will be collecting pie filling or canned fruit. 

Some of us submitted entries into a Literary Magazine and they were accepted. The magazine will be published soon!

We now have Art on Wednesdays. This week we made stained glass windows using tissue paper and laminate plastic.
