3rd Grade Memories

It is with a tearful eye that we say goodbye to 3rd grade.  Jacob has had a great year and made many accomplishments.  The end of the year seems to rev up with activities and here are a few that I would like to share.

1. On 6/7/12 Jacob received his Math Magician Award for passing the sixty second sweep in 50 seconds. Which means that Jacob memorized all the possible products of the numbers 2-9.  And why is it called the sixty second sweep?  Because when you can sweep through it and name the families of all the numbers in the matrix in one minute or less, then you can say you really know your facts.  
2. Jacob wrote a story called "Zwizzer Zwazzer Zwang Gets the Moon" through a program called Story Pirates.  His story was selected along with 2 other students to be performed at the Geffen Playhouse in Westwood this summer!   http://storypirates.org/
3. Perfect Attendance Award.  Jacob has been waiting all year to receive a trophy and now he has got one!
