Hope you are all enjoying yet another 3 day weekend. This is it for a while until Spring Break, so hopefully students are well rested. The spelling packet for Across the Wide Dark Sea was sent home last week and is due this Friday, February 25th. Students had 2 weeks to complete so EVERYONE should turn this in on time. We are wrapping up division in class (for now) and moving onto fractions and decimals. Please be sure your child continues to practice the multiplication facts for the test we have every Thursday. A big THANK YOU to Alison McKenna for correcting these for the class. I hope that as these tests come home weekly, you and your child can reflect on improvements and obstacles. The 2nd trimester report cards will be sent home in early March and these will reflect their current grades for geometry, multiplication, division, and fractions.
In March, all 3rd grade classes will begin working on a mammal report. Tomorrow in the computer lab, I will introduce students to a website where they will review a list of mammals and decide which one they would like to research. If a mammal not on the list is chosen, students will need pre-approval from me in order to proceed. The 3rd grade team thought it was important to have a website already in place that students could get their information from. Otherwise, students come with internet articles that are too advanced that they can not read or understand. This type of research will be a nice lead in to our Famous American reports that we'll be working on in May. A letter will go home shortly explaining the mammal project.
Wish list: pencils, antibacterial wipes
Thanks and Happy Presidents Day!
