Writing We had the wonderful opportunity to hear author Mark Walter speak today! We are familiar with his two published books, particularly Buckeyes A to Z. His presentation was about the writing process. His powerful words that the third graders can relate to will allow Mr. Walter to be a great role model for students as they grow as writers. Math In math, we did two- and three-digit addition with and without regrouping. Students had hands on experience by using base-ten blocks to see what actually happens to numbers and place value when regrouping happens. . Science A highlight of our week was cracking open geodes! Geodes are sphere shaped rock that are hollow with crystals inside. Pictures will be posted on our website soon! We are also creating crystal sculptures. Using epsom salts, warm water, and food coloring, we created sculptures with pipe cleaners. Once the water evaporates, we will have crystal sculptures! Walk a Mile in My Shoes Day Next Wednesday, October 23, is Walk a Mile in My Shoes Day at Windermere!! Following a lesson about empathy, each student completed a sign that says, Im walking a mile for _____.! Some possible ways to finish that sentence would be, a soldier far from home doing a hard job, or, someone who is sick in the hospital. Then next Wednesday morning, with these signs taped to our backs, well walk twice around the Windermere block (total distance of one mile) and think about how we can take what we learn and use that knowledge and skill outside the walls of Windermere to make the world a better place. Please sign the permission slip that was sent home. Also, please help your child remember to wear warm clothes and good shoes for walking next Wednesday.! Thank you!
