We explored more ways we connect with each other this week. We shared ideas and preferences where we found a lot of "me too" signs happening! Mrs. Bankston also led a lesson on teamwork, which gave us additional practice on working together. Ask your child about the softball players and the cup stacking!
We have been asked to create signage for Kiker's Keyhole Gardens, so our work in ELA and reading has been about these special gardens. We have learned nonfiction signposts to help us dig into informational reading, we've learned and written letter form asking experts for help, and we are writing expository pieces to put together information explaining the function and uniqueness of those gardens. BIG WORK!
SBLC third graders led the Kiker community in honor of our veterans -- such a fantastic performance!

We've been "digging in" to the importance of compost and the many elements of soil. Students know that all of our food can be traced back to soil and that the health of soil helps determine a plant's survival. We know that healthy compost in our keyhole garden means that we can turn some of our classroom waste products into soil and that's pretty exciting. After researching soil and compost, we reached out with our additional questions to an expert and are eagerly awaiting his response.
SBLC mathematicians have a variety of strategies for multidigit multiplication and have also enjoyed building fluency with a little rhythm this week. We spent time on some graded opportunities to show what we know and took lots of dance breaks in between. Here are links to two songs that we used to help us learn our multiples of 4 and 7:
Watch out -- they will easily get stuck in your head! Enjoy the beautiful weather and have a great weekend!
