Team Wannabe celebrated the 100th day of school by creating 100th Day Fraction Masterpieces. Students designed a 10 x 10 piece of graph paper with 3 colors and then had to describe the fractional amount each color represented.
It’s hard to believe there are less than 80 school days left of third grade! We have a lot to be proud of and still have a lot of hard work ahead of us.
Even though the frigid temperatures have kept us indoors this month, I’ve still found a few nights when I couldn’t resist looking up at the moon and admiring mrssarahlewis.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/img_1053.jpg” alt=”IMG_1053″ class=”alignnone size-full” />

Do you know your Latin roots? Third graders are learning about prefixes and roots. Today we played a matching game in Fundations with roots and meaning cards. We had a great classroom discussion with many impressive word examples. The clever word sleuths in class were able to identify many different examples of words with Latin roots. We even noticed them in our class read aloud, The One and Only Ivan!
What words have you found with Latin roots today?
