Third Grade Angels



We just finished our first read aloud book, Third Grade Angels by Jerry Spinelli. Our main character, Suds, experiences some challenges on being "good" for the wrong reasons...just to get a halo from his teacher!
Have you ever had a struggle similar to Suds's? Maybe you wanted to do the right thing, but for the wrong reason? How do you feel about the ending of our book? Please write four to five complete sentences and use the correct capitalization and punctuation.

Math is Everywhere!!!


Look around...we see and use math everywhere and every day!!!  We see and use math at the grocery store, on TV, looking out the window of a car, or at home. We use math adding scores when playing sports, paying money when  shopping, telling time, measuring for cooking, and doing so many other things! Write three or more sentences sharing how YOU see and  use math in your real life. Remember - use complete sentences and proper punctuation!  I am excited to see how you see and use math every day!!!
