Some news from third grade -- 

Board Game Day

On Monday, December 3, we will be playing board games because we have earned another 300 sticks for being Respectful, Responsible, and Safe.

Students may bring a board game from home to play with friends.  Each student will be responsible for keeping up with all of the pieces to their own game.

Congratulations!!!

Cultural and Literacy Night

We will celebrate different cultures around the world and literacy night on Thursday, December 6, 2018.  Please come and see all the work students have done celebrating different cultures and customs of the world.

Holiday Party

Our Holiday Party will be held on December 19, 2018, at 9 AM.  We will be serving breakfast foods, play games, and possibly have a craft.  It will be a great time!!  Parents are welcome to attend.  Please click on this link to sign up to bring a dish. 

Groovy-O-Rama

Tomorrow is our Groovy-O-Rama!!  The kids have been working hard to make this a great performance.  Our show starts at 9:50.  You might want to get here early to get a good seat.  Parking won't be an issue, because we are the first performance!!!

Pictures

If your student was here for picture day, the packet is in their Thursday folder.  If you did not order pictures, but would like to, you can look at the proofs and make your decision.  There is an order form in the envelope.  If you did order pictures, your complete order is in the envelope.

Interim Progress Reports

In your student's Thursday folder, you will find their Interim Progress Report.  If there is a note about missing/incomplete work, don't worry.  We are working on it, but it just did not get completed before grades had to be submitted.  Please celebrate with your child in regards to their successes.  If improvement needs to be made, discuss how it can happen.

Update on what is happening in third grade...

Math

We have been learning some multiplication strategies and have just started fractions.  We will continue fractions next week.  Keep practicing those math facts!!

We are studying expository text.  We have learned about text features and how these types of books are arranged.  We have started writing an expository piece, also.  Exciting!!

Social Studies

We have been learning about heroes and timelines.  We are learning a lot about how timelines can help us organize events.
