This is a game that you have to match the present tense verb with the past tense verb. For example go would match with went. Its pretty fun, you have to concentrate though. Have fun!

Author Visit

Beth Evans Caldwell, author of Jack Gives a Smack came to visit Sheffield on April 7th. We had a great time getting to meet a real life author and it was a treat to hear her read her own book! Mrs. Caldwell answered a lot of questions that we had about being an author. Here is her website. I know there were several of you who wanted to ask her some more questions, but we ran out of time. Maybe going on her website will answer some of the questions.

Don't forget on April 6th (the day we come back from Spring Break) we are going on a field trip to the Mac computer store at the St. Johns Town Center.

Amelia Earhart

Here is some information on Amelia Earhart. Remember nobody really know what happened to her. If you get your parents permission to google "Amelia Earhart" there are some other really good sites that had more pictures. I thought it was neat to see what people dressed like during that time.-Mrs. Biegun

Reading Logs

Lately we have had some people NOT logging in all the great books that they are reading. Remember to log in your books after you finish them. Your book log is in the back of your agenda. The reading celebration is fast approaching and I would hate to have someone from the best 3rd grade class sit out. Your March goal is 3 books, which should be a piece of cake.
