Greetings, families!
I must start with an apology. This update is long overdue...I guess fall learning and planning got in the way. I will try to hit the highlights from the last several weeks.I want to thank all of you for attending conferences. I appreciated the time to reflect with you about your child and the great learning they have been doing this year. The next update you will receive will be the 2nd quarter report card. This will include the new SELS goal we set at conference.
Food Drive
As many of you may know, Marquette was collecting food for the Goodman Center Food Pantry. As extra incentive, Ms. Miller's classroom and our classroom had a side wager. The classroom who brought in the most food was going to be able to dress the other teacher up in either Bears or Packers gear. AND THE WINNER IS.....THE LILY PAD! Actually the real winner is the Goodman Center! Great work 3rd Graders! On Wednesday, we helped the fire department load the goods onto the truck.
Sharing our Narratives
We finished our narrative writing unit this past week To honor our authors and all the hard work they did, we had students shared their work in small groups. Each author sat in a special chair and shared their writing while others listened and gave positive feedback. Students worked on adding dialogue, interesting details, actions, setting and paragraphs. The each walked away with a good piece of writing.
Madison History
We have been studying about Madison History this past quarter. Students have learned about the glaciers, the Ice Age, the Mound Builders and the Hochungra people. We took a walking trip to visit the Effigy Mounds at Hudson Park.
