WHAT’S UP IN 3RD GRADE?
We are at the end of our first marking period. It was pleasure conferencing with parents this past week or so. Report Cards will go home on Wednesday, November 11th. Please fill out the form at the bottom of the comment sheet and return it in the envelope. Second Nine Weeks Course Syllabus will be posted on our 3rd grade webpage.
In Social Studies, the students have been researching cultures for American Education Week. Please assist your child with finding pictures about your family’s culture. Over the next week your 3rd grader will be writing paragraphs about their cultures geography, traditions, dress and food. This will be presented on a poster that they make at school.
I hope you can join us for our trip around the world on Wednesday, November 18th directly following the morning announcements from 9:30 – 10:30.
In science, we have just wrapped up our unit on matter and the water cycle.
In math, the students are working on counting and comparing money, as well as determining what change they would get back from a purchase. Please have your child continue to practice their addition and subtraction facts for speed and accuracy on Reflex.com so that they can move on to multiplications facts asap. Further reading and Math instruction can be found on I-Ready where students can complete lessons and earn extra tickets at school if you write that they completed this in their agenda!

“AN EL EPHANT NEVER FORGETS” REMINDER…
1. Please remember to initial your child’s agenda and check homework assignments every night.
2. Remember, 15-20 minutes of reading per night is highly encouraged! Please record all reading on the Nov. Reading Calendar in your child’s agenda so that they can participate in extra recess at the end of every month.
3. As the weather changes, please be sure your child is dressed appropriately for cold temperatures. We will continue to go outside for recess until the snow begins to fall (However we may go outside even then!)
Thank you!
A big thank you goes out to Mrs. Ulrich for coordinating such yummy eats on Oct. 30th . You all looked amazing at the book character parade too!
