Boy, today went fast! We spent the morning reviewing Word Wall Words and scoring papers. Scoring papers? Yes! We used the Ideas rubric from yesterday to read some old (and short) Pet Show stories from a LOOOONNNNNGGGGGGG time ago. We agreed that every single one of them was missing intriguing details. Go figure.
Why did we check these, you might be wondering? Well, this afternoon, during rotation, we wrote our first drafts and reminded ourselves that intriguing details were VERY important to add.
I also introduced the children to a site called Bitstrips. You can find it on the third grade page, or you can click the picture below to go there.

Explore Bitstrips by making an avatar and trying to create a comic for fun
We will be using Bitstrips for a Manatee Blues project tomorrow.
During math today, we used a geoboard to create rectangles with specific perimeters. You can try an online geoboard here:
The worksheet that explains the directions for creating rectangles is located on page 67 of your math journal.
This afternoon, we held rotation. We worked on Pet Show stories and the seatwork mentioned above. I've also collected a thing or two you need to catch up on from last week.
We hope you feel a LOT better! Tomorrow is going to be so much fun!
:)Mrs. Neal
