Grammar Blast

In grammar class today we integrated some technology. Each boy had his own laptop, and we went to a fantastic website which can be found here. The boys have been exposed to most of the concepts in the Grade 3 section. Enjoy!!

Follow the Countdown

We will be studying the Space Shuttle and watching a delayed broadcast of the launch set for April 5th. Any early risers can see it live at 6:21 AM on Monday, April 5th. To see the countdown clock click here. We will write a composition about the Space Shuttle and Space Station after the launch. There is always the chance for a delay which would delay our composition.

The Roman Coin Project

In history class today we discussed the Romans' monetary system and the importance of coinage in everyday Roman life. I gave each one of the boys a coin from Ancient Rome which they examined in great detail. The coins are currently soaking in distilled water. The boys will clean the coins once the sediment is loosened and have a keepsake from days gone by. The boys were very excited to see faces and letters already visible on the coins.

Planting Day

The boys each planted nine tomato seeds today in order to celebrate spring and the growth all around us. The hope is that the plants will thrive and be brought home to bear fruit in the summer. We will be discussing how we all have grown a lot this year as this project continues.

History Study Guide

We will have a history test on Tuesday, March 9th on chapters 31 - 34. The boys should have brought home a study guide, but if another is needed please click here.
