Measurement Activity
On Monday, we used string and a ruler to measure the hat size of our friends (the distance around the head, just above the eyes). They picked three friends to measure and then had to put them order from smallest to largest.
These pictures make me really sad! I only have 26 more days with them!

My daddy has his follow up PET Scan on Thursday! This will tell us if it is all gone! They will do the scan and read it on Thursday. PRAY! PRAY! PRAY!
Talent Show Preparation
On Sundays, I teach 11th grade girls. They have agreed to learn the HoeDown ThrowDown from the Hannah Montana Movie and teach it to me. The third grade teachers want our whole grade level to do this dance for the Talent Show on the last day of school. 
My sweet girls have been watching YouTube to learn the dance.
They are so cute doing it!
However, Mrs. Coon is having a little trouble! I have a lot of work to do! It is just so FAST!!!
If we can get it together, it will be so much fun!

In math this week, we are going back and working on measurement with more detail! We touched on measurement a little bit for testing, but we are going to hit it again more in depth. 
Here are the vocabulary words for this week!
This is the story we are reading this week. It is LONG! Please encourage your child to bring his/her reader home each night.
Also, this week they will begin learning about the Human Body in Science with Mrs. Maze. In Social Studies, we will be talking about the buying and selling of products. Last but not least, we will be working on verbs and their tenses in Language.

Happy Easter!
Today we celebrated the end of testing with a small Easter party! The boys and girls enjoyed cookies, pretzels, and Sprite. Then, they each got to decorate and dye two Easter eggs. They look great! Before calling it a day, we enjoyed "The Original Movie of "Peter Cottontail." It was a great day!
If it wasn't for my wonderful parents, I would not have been able to pull this off! Thanks for the supplies and the helping hands!

We are DONE!!!! Thank you so much for all the support during the past two weeks! I know it has been long and tiring for your child, and I apologize for that! Mrs. Coon was REALLY tired, too! Now, we can relax and enjoy the rest of the school year! 
When they boys and girls came in on Wednesday, they found this pack of gum on their tables.
This what they found on their desks on Monday morning! They had some Smarties candy with a tag that said, "You are a Smarty!"
