SJA’s annual Spring
Fundraiser is upon us! Our goal for this year is $9000 so let get out there
and support SJA! We are raising money for new equipment in the gym and science
lab!
As of this morning we
have raised a whooping $3900! And because of that, we were able to Silly String Ms. Bosetti!! Outstanding job SJA! We are only $100 off to shave Mr. Palumbo’s head, $2100 off to pie teachers in the face, and only $5100
off of our goal and water ballooning the teachers! The grade 3’s have raised

MATH
Today we looked at changing-step
growing patterns! We began by students showing examples, them pairing off and
creating our own patterns and switching with our partners to see if they could
guess our pattern! A changing-step growing pattern is when you start off with a
pattern and the number added changes each time. For example 2*, 6*, 18*…we are
multiplying each number by 3 (2x3=6, 6x3=18)
LANGUAGE
Today we did a ‘quick write’ where
students are given a topic and they have to continuously write about that topic
for 15 minutes. Today’s topic was summertime!
UOI
Today we learned how to write an
autobiography! We began by reading an example, creating anchor charts to
remember the key points, and they we began writing our own. We were lucky
enough to have Mr. S help us out with this lesson! The storybook summative will be due Monday, May 2. We will begin working on it next week and will have
ample time to complete most, if not all of it in class. A rubric will be sent
home sometime next week!
Today was Ms. B’s last day. We were
sad to see her go but know she has wonderful things to look forward to. Best of
luck Ms. B! We will miss you!
Have a wonderful night!
Mrs. Hocevar J
A cupcake cheers to Ms. B!
