A word about our week:
We were fortunate to have the first-time-ever Mrs. Greenberg 3rd grade special writer's workshop! She came to our class on Monday & Wednesday this week to help us with writing vignettes. Each student selected a special time or memory to write about. 

We are finished with our biographies and will be starting our final big 3rd grade project: simple machines! Biographies and simple machine projects will showcased at the Achievement Fair in May.

Our room has been a bit chilly so I suggest your child bring a sweater or hoodie to keep warm.
