Whipping Boy Movie Time! By: Marissa

Have you ever been really excited about watching the movie of a book you read? Well, 3N, and 3B have! We watched the movie of The Whipping Boy. The movie, and book are about a prince and king, and Jemmy-the whipping boy. First, we had to read the book, witch I really enjoyed, and liked! Next, we had to read chapter, by chapter, by chapter. Then, we finished the book. After that, we got to watch the movie! But, it took a couple days. Finally, we finished the movie! I thought it was a very, very, very...good movie. The book was good, too! I hope you get the chance to read the book, or watch the movie. Or, get to have this feeling.

Remember: It's always good to watch the movie, for a book you read! By good, I mean FUN!

READING LOGS! By: Marissa

Guess what everyone, we have Reading Logs at our school, and every time we have to bring in our Reading Logs for the end of the month the 2 third grade teachers plan a fun thing to do for everyone that made the goal (16 days.) The stuff they pick out is always fun! If we don't reach the goal we have to read while the other people do the fun activity, but it's fun reading so I don't mind. So far, a lot of kids have been reading, (pssst, that's because it is so-ooo-ooo-ooo much fun!)

Here are somethings we do at the parties we have for the READING LOGS.  We made ice-cream and we had cookies we keep reading to see what's around the corner for the next party! So, BE AWARE! My opinion on the parties are "AWESOME!"

Here is one of my friend's opinion on the parties:

Keeping Track of THIS BLOG! By Matthew

When ever you read our posts and follow us it will appear on a Clustr Map. Since we like to find out where our blog has been we will keep track of this Clustr Map with a map of the world. When ever a new dot appears on the Map we have to get a thumb tack and tack the tack to the place or location of the city.

Suffix's By Matthew

In 3N we have been working on learning suffix's. In the past weeks we've been learning all kinds of suffix's and this is how we learn them. Step1. The teacher displays the words we will use and the suffix's. Step2. The students come up and drag a word to the correct suffix. We will also listen to songs sometimes that go with the suffixs.




This is good for kids because it is hands on and that is how most kids learn.
