The students have been working on their reports for their animals. Today, they completed their introductory paragraph, and they are all very well written. This is our third iteration of NF writing, and I am please with their progress.
In math we will be returning to a project we briefly discussed at the beginning of the year, where the students will be using Geographic Information Systems to convert the community of Evergreen into a Frisbee Golf Course. We began this process in math today as we examined geometry (looking at different shapes), and in gym, where we had a round of frisbee golf.
Tomorrow will be a very good day! We're going to be typing the initial paragraphs into the computers (they will be in Google Docs, so you should feel free to check them out!).

Hello Families,
It is an exciting time for grade 3 students as they begin their recorder unit. Mrs. H-McDee would like to request the following to ensure that all recorder classes are successful and ideal learning environments.
- Students are asked to ONLY take recorders home to practice on WEEKENDS
- When practicing at home, you may want to set up a specific time period e.g.. 5pm – 5:15pm
- Practice sessions of 15 minutes each on Friday, Saturday and Sunday are recommended
- Never play recorder outside in the cold/hot weather
- Recorders can be cleaned in the dishwasher or with warm water and dish soap.
- Please make sure they are completely dry before placing in baggie or case
MOST IMPORTANTLY:
- To ensure proper recorder tone, encourage player to Breathe warm air GENTLY into recorder and COVER any holes required for each note
** Students should never blow hard enough to make any loud/squeaky sounds
Good Luck and Happy Playing! (& Listening)
