This week will be a fun-filled, busy week in third grade.
Math
We are beginning a new unit in math -- multiplying by 9s and dividing by 8s. This is exciting stuff as we learn strategies to manipulate these numbers.
Language Arts
Last week we started our new unit where we will begin researching famous people. In your student's purple folder, there was a letter describing exactly what we will be doing for this project. Most of the project will be done in class, but any props needed for the presentation and practicing the presentation will be done at home. I have attached a copy of the letter that I sent home. If you have any questions, please let me know. This should be a fun activity, and the presentation will be awesome! Mark your calendars because all parents and families are encouraged to attend..
Science
We have been studying living and non-living things and their habitats. This week we will finish that and begin learning about life cycles.
Counselor News
The counselor will be visiting our classroom on Tuesday during science time (2:00). She will be presenting a lesson on how to treat other people. It will be a great reinforcement for everyone on being nice and respectful.
Progress Reports
Be looking for your student's progress report on Thursday this week. This is only half-way through the grading period, so any grades that are not where they should be can be brought up. We will keep working and putting forth our best effort to have the best grades that we can achieve.
PTA News
The spring carnival will be on April 15. Mark your calendars because this is a fun night for everyone!! Attached is a flyer telling about it.
Picture Day
Group pictures as well as individual pictures will be taken on Tuesday, February 9. Bring your best smile!!
Tutoring
Because I will be gone on Tuesday, there will be no tutoring after school. A new baby is expected to arrive very soon for a staff member and we are celebrating that on Thursday after school. We will not be able to have tutoring on Thursday either. We will get back to it the following week!!!
