Fundraising Success!

Thanks to everyone for your participation in the City Saver book sale.  Everyone in our class either returned the booklet or sold.  That is awesome!  In fact, our class did so well, we were tied for the highest selling 3rd grade class!  Well done everyone.  We had a QUACK party to celebrate!  I'm sure you all are enjoying those duck calls at home.

Because the school met the goal of selling 800 books, our very own Ms. Greer agreed to kiss a pig!  That took place a couple of weeks ago, and our class had a front row seat to the show.  Take a look at Ms. Greer and her new friend Wilbur!

Singing about Rounding

     Have you even caught yourself humming a song that was popular years ago?  Have you ever surprised youself when you remembered the words to an old song you hadn't heard in years?  Music has the power to help us remember things.  That's why commercial jingles get stuck in our heads!  It's also why you can probably still sing along to School House Rock songs and other things from your childhood. 
     We have attempted to harness the power of music in our class!  This week and last, our students tried to write their own songs to help them remember how to round.  We talked about the "leave me alone" numbers 0-4 and those "bully numbers" 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 that round numbers up.  Check out a couple of the great songs the groups came up with!
