Students did a wonderful job on their animal reports and dioramas. I am very proud of the work that was turned in! I will send home a grade for the dioramas next week and return the reports after Spring break. The next project we'll be working on in class is the famous American biography. Students should know who they want to learn about by Monday, April 18. On Tuesday, our class will go to the computer lab to print out research articles (if they didn't get one last week). Their job over break is to read about their famous American and come back after Spring Break prepared to begin note taking. A letter expaining this will be sent home early May.
CST testing will also begin this Tuesday, April 19. 3rd grade classes will be testing around 9:30 for the math portion of the test. There are 3 parts, so we will do one each day; Part 1 on Tuesday, Part 2 on Wednesday, and part 3 on Thursday. Please be sure your child has a sufficient breakfast and snack to help them through. Sugar free gum will be allowed ONLY during testing time. Students are to bring gum for themselves or to share with the class. If any student is inappropriate with the gum, it will be taken away. Gum will then be collected in the trash cans after testing is complete.
Homework for the week will be minimal. There will be no spelling packet, but some math. Students will continue with Lit. Circles and can read their books in class after testing.
Have a wonderful weekend and Spring Break!
