Tape-worms :)

Odd title I know haha. Today was a good day for the Super 3's. We began our morning with a conversation about safety in the wake of the terrible tragedy in Connecticut. Practiced what we thought was the best way to stay safe in any emergency and then went about our morning as normal. We had a fast lesson on finding unknowns and the kids seem to be getting it but it is still a little tricky for many of us. Time and practice will get us there :) We worked with Dictionaries and Thesauruses while reading Bartholomew Biddle and will practice more tomorrow. Really this is the best book I have read as a teaching tool ever. Fantastic book. The kids went skating for the second last time which they are really enjoying and we started to construct our fantastic bridges. At one point a student was taping another kids mouth closed to which I asked him to stop and by the end of their story as to why the tape was being used that way we discovered one of the kids thought eating tape was a pretty funny thing to do. One of the girls in class did not agree and warned him that eating tape will give you tapeworms. HA Grade 3 is the BEST!
