Week of November 1 - 5, 2021

Welcome to Ms. Karapalides!

The Third Grade loves having Ms. Dee Karapalides join us each Tuesday and Thursday morning.  Ms. Karapalides is an HCA alumni and is currently in her Junior year at St. Joseph's University.  She is an Elementary Education major and is observing our reading and math groups each week.   

Writing in Sequence (and cursive!)

Students wrote, in cursive, the steps to a process in reading class.  Original topics included: How to Make a Basket in Basketball, How to Bake Cupcakes, How to Go Fishing, and How to Make a Paper Airplane.

Partner Activity

Working with a partner, students sequenced the story, Bat Loves the Night, from their Journeys reader.

This week's Character Counts winners were Kent and Marianne.  They exhibited responsibility and good citizenship.  Kent choose the "Pillow Pet" award and got to spend the day with his comfy pillow from home.  Marianne choose the "Show and Tell" award and shared something special with the class.  

Congratulations, Kent and Marianne!

Kent enjoys completing his seat work with his pillow pal.  

Marianne shares her Scorpion with the class.
