Hello!

I can't believe it's already time for Spring Break! Hopefully the weather stays nice. I am sending home a reading log this week but it is not due until April 4th. Please encourage your kids to read, write, and practice math over Spring Break. I will occasionally check their google drive accounts to see if they've written me while they are on vacation!

Monday, March 31: PE
Tuesday, April 1: Counselor and Library Check Out
Wednesday, April 2: Art
Thursday, April 3: Music

Math/Science

In math we’re starting fractions. We made fraction cards, combined fractions, and shared brownies equally. We also started 12’s in our timed tests. In science we are doing weather we’re talking about the 3 elements wind, temperature, and precipitation. Also the four types of precipitation are rain, sleet, hail, and snow.

Reading/Writing

In writing we wrote letters to legislature about Juvenile Arthritis. For read aloud we are reading The Sisters Grimm. It was missing a few pages! But we still got to read it because Ms. Baxter bought it on her iPad!

Writing

Our writing this week is persuasive writing and almost everybody chose a different topic! For example some people chose stop abusing animals, stop polluting the waters, and stop cutting down trees.

Math/Geometry

We are learning polygons and isosolies triangle and equilateral. In math we are starting to do a bit of fractions. But our main topic is multiplication and division. We had 14 people in our 100’s club and that’s the highest we have ever had! We did a timed test for multiplication and we had as much time as we wanted!

Reading

We have been doing a lot with reading groups lately and all of the reading group books are chapter books! We have read The Day the Crayons Quit and our current read aloud book is The Lemonade War and what just happened was Jessie put bugs and dirt in Evan’s lemonade mix and she did that because she didn’t want him to win the war that they were having.

Spring Forward

Hello!
A few important upcoming dates:
On April 25th we will be taking a field trip to Bethel Park. If you are interested in volunteering, let me know. More information will be coming soon. It's a great third grade tradition!
Next week, on the 11th (Tuesday) at 12:00, we invite you to come read our magazine "Awesome Articles" at our Share Fair.
I will send home new book order forms next week. There are a lot of great books in our March catalogue.
Next week is also a FIVE DAY WEEK! Please help your child rest up so they have the energy to last all five days :) Don't forget to SPRING FORWARD this weekend, also.
