This week in Third Grade we:
*Enjoyed a wonderful workshop with poet Lyn Hoopes. We learned about our "poet's voice", how to string words like beads and make patterns with sounds, and how to honor our imagination with words.
*Got our SmartBoard installed! We had fun using it for our morning message, and playing math games on it. Ask your child how it works!
*Had a fabulous trip to the Boston Children's Museum. We visited a traditional Japanese home and found things that were the same as and different from our own homes. We learned the art of suminagashi, ancient Japanese paper marbling.
* Learned about "remote control reading." Ask your child what this is all about!
*Continued to research our topics about Japan.
