This week we will be writing space stories.  Students will write a one page story that can be put together to become a class book.
The grade 3 spelling words are: children, search, teacher, reached, think, together, with, where, everywhere, short, push, finish, sure, who, whole.
The grade 4 spelling words are: strong, wrong, copy, cloth, problem, October, whole, explode, control, shown, bowl, bottom, smoky, coach, throat, toast, doughnut, foe.
Students also need to listen to, read, and do a quiz on 2 Raz-Kids books.  Two students from our class passed their levels last week!  Great job!


Math
This week we will be practicing the 6 times tables.  
We are also ready to do a test on the multiplication that we have done so far.  I noticed today that as a group we are much better at solving word problems.  Great effort everyone!


PBL
NASA sent us a letter saying that they are going to send some kids on the next space mission.  All we have to do is to make a plan for the mission that shows that we understand the challenges involved in space exploration.  See posts below for details.


CLC
We are continuing to learn about Jacob's life.  This week we will learn about his 12 sons, and his escape from Laban.  Students are going to be required to memorize the 12 sons of Jacob.
