Due to check-point testing in homeroom classes we had a late start. Today was the last day of Target for this semester. The art detectives were quite surprised about the outcome of our mystery Chasing Vermeer. The epilogue helped put many of the puzzle pieces together. Students were amazed at all the coincidences of the number 12. We added our own that we finished the novel the week of 12/12. Some of the students with strong reading skills may be interested in the sequel of Carter's, Petra's, and Tommy's adventures in The Wright by Blue Balliett. We ended the day with our mystery celebration and watched the movie The Great Mouse Detective.
We would like to wish all of you a joyous holiday season. Target classes will resume the end of January once Target reevaluation testing is completed. We look forward to welcoming many new third grade students to our Target family in January when we begin our new unit "The Heart."
