Glazier’s Gossip

1. Glazier’s Gossip April 29, 2011 What Did We Do This Week? Reading– Next week we are reading the realistic fiction story The Printer. This story is about a hearing impaired man who saves many lives by alerting other of a fire in the plant where he works. Through this story we will study predicting, vc/cv spelling words and pronoun-noun agreement in grammar. Math– We are continuing to study fractions, decimals and division with remainders. Science– We will begin studying sound next week. Social Studies– Our class is studying communities through Junior Achievement during the month of May. We are very excited to have Angie McGinnis lead us in our JA lessons. WOW!!! We collected $391.97 in third grade to support the Heifer Foundation. We were able to buy 5 flocks of Chicks – ($100) 5 flocks of Ducks - ($100) 1 Sheep - ($120) 1 Hope Gift Basket - ($50) and possibly some Honeybees - ($30) This donation will help an impoverished family in a third world country improve their life.
