Last week in P.E. we were doing our curl up test and we started to do our modified pull up test if we are not doing a test we were either doing gymnastics,floor hockey,stilts, balance toys or some kind of cup games.Also in writing or literacy we are working on our opinion pieces. We were talking about our favorite color and my opinion was that turquoise is the best color. We were also talking about what would be a bad parade. Like a giraffe parade is a terrible idea. Also in art we are working on faces with oil pastel and then rubbing it all in on one side of a face cool colors and the other side warm color. After you add very tiny details to your face.In science we are working in the force of motion. We were learning about lift,weight,drag and thrust.In music we are working on the treble cleff and doing different activites.In french we are acting out what happened in a video and using french words in the skit.

Last week for math most of us did xtra math. We practice multiplication and division. If you are done with learning your facts, you do challenge problems with 24 cards. We also did multiplication and division in our math workbooks and math notebooks. We also worked on area and perimeter. Perimeter is all the way around and area is the inside. We are also learning about geometry. In spelling some of us are doing Wordly Wise where we got the test for lesson 10 and two midterm tests and then we need another packet of tests to lesson 20.

Last week in Science we learned what a Simple Machine is, it can be a Wedge, a Lever, a Inclined Plane, a Wheel & Axle, a Screw or a Pulley. A Wedge is a knife or a nail. A Inclined Plane is a ramp. Wheel & Axle is used in a car. A Pulley is a fishing pole. The class said that we all used a Simple Machine to get to school on Friday. We also learned that a bike is a compound machine because it is made up of 2 simple machines working together.

In math 3rd graders are learning multiplication. We are learning about skip counting patterns and repeated addition. We are also making word problems about things that come in groups.In P.E. we are doing some choice time. We did a cup stacking game and we raced someone to make a tower. We used stilts. We played floor hockey. In art we have been making leaf posters that are in the hallway. In writing we have been writing about opinions and we are working on what is a perfect pet. I wrote about a dwarf hamster being a perfect pet. In literacy we have been reading novels and learning about characteristics. We are supporting our ideas with examples from the books.
