Sarah, Plain and Tall

 In shared reading we're reading Sarah Plain and Tall.  We read chapters 1 and 2 so far.  We know that there is Sarah, Caleb, Papa, and Anna.  Sarah was sending letters to Caleb, Papa, and Anna.  Sarah will be coming to Anna, Papa, and Caleb's house.  She will be coming with a yellow bonnet on her head and she is tall and has a plain dress on.  In the letters Sarah said that she has a cat named Seal and she likes dogs too.

The PARCC

My class is going to take a test called the PARCC. The PARCC is a test on the computer.  My class is not going to have HOMEWORK FOR ONE WEEK!  We are just testing the test for about an hour on Tuesday,  Wednesday,  and Thursday.  I told my parents and they said, "Oh good." I am scared because I think I am going to fail the whole test, but it is just practice and it is not going to be graded which is good.

Los Dias de la Semana

That means the days of the week. In Spanish we are learning the days of the week. Like Lunes is Monday, Martes is Tuesday, Miercoles is Wednesday, Jueves is Thursday, Viernes is Friday, Sabado is Saturday, Domigo is Sunday. The weird thing about Spanish weeks is they start on Monday. Our favorite day of the week is Sabado(that's Saturday).

Document Camera

Since we got the document camera everything has been easier. For example, it used to be hard trying to put stuff like math or science or other stuff up on the board. But with the document camera we could put the same exact stuff on the smart board, they could even put my own paper on the smart board..Since we got the document camera everything has been easier.

Liberty Science Center

The third graders went to Liberty Science Center! When my class went my group went in the touch tunnel which is a pitch black tunnel and you have to find your way through on your hands and knees.  Then we saw this ball and it gets sucked in and then goes out.  It was terrific! We saw giant, gray fish and it looked like they had beards. We were feeling hot so we saw a tube that blasted air at you, so we used it. Basically everywhere we went we saw Bob the Builder.  Those are some of the things we that we saw at Liberty Science Center.

The Liberty Science Center

"We have to go to the top floor!" we all yelled excitedly.  We went straight for the elevator.  Not long after that we we're on the 4th floor. When we got there I saw a humongous rubix cube hanging from the ceiling. I got a  little dizzy then I walked into the railing then I looked down then I screamed, "Don't look down!" and of course my group looked down.  Then they also get dizzy. Then we all just pushed away from the railing and went to the Hudson Bay river animals.  We saw a ton of fish and diamond shell turtles but there was a part we missed- three other animals one was a blue crab I forget the other two.  Then we went to the Touch Tunnel. We had to crawl and touch our way out.  We went twice then we went to Eat and be Eaten.  There were predators there but at the end was a parrot and Garrett went insane!  Then we went to a place that was about germs and vaccinations.  Finally, we went to the Imax theater.  That just made us dizzy again.  We saw the movie Titans of the Ice Age!

Sulli's Circle

Today we are doing Sulli's Circle.  It is when you get to hold Sulli and share what you're doing.  After we're done with that we hand out nominations.  I bet your wondering what nominations are? They little pieces of paper that you write on to thank people for.  This is what I like about Sulli's Circle.

The NJ ASK

   We are going to have the NJ ASK in May. I am scared because I don't know how many  I am going to  get wrong.  I'm sure that I will do fine.  We are going to be taking a language arts and a math section.  In third grade we are going to make a video to get ready for the test.  My class is going to sing the song on it. I hope I will get a good grade on my test on the NJ ASK.

Love of Reading Week

Last week was love of reading week!  The challenge was if the school could read 10,000 books then Mr.Leone would die his hair red and we reached our goal!  We had an assembly and the red didn't show up so Mr. Miller died Mr. Leone's hair blue with sparkles.  Love of reading week is a great part of the school year.

Field Trip

Liberty Science Center       At the  Liberty Science Center there was a lot to see like big fish and small fish and a lot more than just animals.  There is a giant bubble maker, an I-max theater, there even was a formula 1 racing car! There was a lot to see. My favorite thing that I got to see was Mickey the Parrot. It was one of my most fun experiences of my life.

Field Trip

It was so much fun at the Liberty Science Center. There were so many games and Alex was by that nose and he said, "How do you like that?" and the nose sneezed on him.  We saw a construction working game.  It looked very fun but hard. Nick tried the game he couldn't even do it because it was so hard so we moved on to another thing.  I felt a little dizzy at the IMAX theater but it was really fun because the screen was very big.  Then we went to the skyscraper after.  The skyscraper was so awesome.  For example, there was an awesome thing that you can be like a construction worker.  Then we had to leave which was sad because it was so much fun at Liberty Science Center.

Love of Reading week!

This week is Love of Reading week. 3rd graders are doing some activities like when we read with Mrs. Radjewski's class and Mrs. Ryan's class.  On Wednesday we need to bring in a book and a beach towel. If we can read 10,000 books in one week then Mr. Leone  will  spray paint his hair red in front of the whole school. We are keeping a tally at home and in class. This will go to the 10,000  book goal. Every one in the school is trying to meet our goal.  Last Friday Debbie Dadey came to our school.
