HANDWRITING
Today's riddle was:
"How did the invisible boy upset his mother?"

MATH
The students worked on labelling fractions using words and numbers.
For example:

2/10 or two tenths

We also discussed that the numerator is the top number that shows the number of parts being counted or shaded. The denominator is the bottom number that shows the total number of parts.

ROUGHRIDER PEP RALLY
We went to the gym and cheered on our nominees Dawson and Jessica. Honorable mention went to Megan and everyone showed their pride and had some Rider green on today. The winner who will ride on the float was Jessica! Good job grade three!

SCIENCE
We watched a BrainPop video on changing landforms by erosion or weathering. This might be the wearing away of rocks, shoreline, or soil by wind and water. It also showed us how caves are formed and how plants and expanding ice can crack and breakup rocks.

SHOW & SHARE
This week's theme is pets and we got to meet Jessica's dog, Lazer, and heard about Easton's dog, Ranger, Thomas's cats, Boris and Paul, and Kale's dog, Buddy. We also heard about some pets who passed away or went to live elsewhere.


* Tomorrow is Track & Field if the weather cooperates. If not it will be classes as usual. Mrs. McKinney is subbing for me Friday and Monday.

* I'm not sure when the next Spelling test will be as it depends on the track meet but Mrs. Soloski will let the class know on Monday.

*The answer to today's riddle was: He kept appearing. :)
