This week we begin a new Theme in our reading curriculum called Celebrating Traditions. A spelling/homework packet for The Keeping Quilt will go home Monday due Friday. We will continue with Chapter 3 in HM Math on adding greater numbers. Your child should be able to add multiple 3 and 4 digit numbers. A timed test for the 2s, 3s, and 4s was given on Friday. Most kids did really well. For the next 4 weeks, we will focus on the 3s, 4s and 5s. I will show you how they did during conferences. A reminder for conferences was sent home on Thursday with your time and date. If you did not receive this please check your child's backpack or contact me.
This Wednesday the Rotary Club will donate free dictionaries to all 3rd grade classes at 8:00 a.m. These dictionaries are a great resource for home and school. We will not begin Lit Circles on that day, probably next week. We just finished Charlotte's Web on Friday. I was hoping to begin AR quizzes in the computer lab, but the lab has been on the brink. So, hopefully kids can begin soon. Since we are not doing Lit Circles this Wednesday, if parents would like to help later in the day with an art project, please let me know. Students will make a pig out of paper mache. This project takes about 3 steps and is VERY messy. I am collecting newspaper and paper towel/toilet paper cylinders for the project. Also, if you have any aluminum foil to donate that would be greatly appreciated. This is used to place the wet pigs on to dry. If volunteers would like to come Wednesday at 11:00, they can begin setting up and blowing balloons. We can set up the picnic tables and work on this project during PE time from 11:35-12:10.
I think that's all for now. Have a great weekend and see you soon!
