"It's Monday...What Are You Reading?"

Today we officially started our Fairy Tale genre study with a focus on Cinderella.  I have read aloud the original Cinderella fairy tale and now we are focusing on fractured fairy tales.  We started today with Prince Cinders.  This fractured fairy tale includes BIG, humorous changes to the main characters, setting, and even the glass slipper!  We always have fun with this unit and studying different fractured fairy tales, versions, and adaptations.  Ask your child the difference between the three!

"It's Monday...time for ELA TESTING!!!"

We continue our SBAC testing this week with our English Language Arts testing.  Testing will be all week except for Wednesday, which will include a very important classroom activity to help us prepare for testing on Thursday and Friday.  Please remember to get a good night of sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and be ready to ace your test!  I am so proud of the work that these third graders have done so far, keep it up!  The finish line is in sight!
