December 5th-9th

Dearest 3C Parents,

We had a very productive week in 3C!  I hope you are all enjoying this busy, but fun time of the year.  Below is an update on what we will be doing next week. 

Best,

Mrs. Bowers

Wish List

1.    Tissues! It is the time of year for many sniffles, even with being good stewards of classroom resources we are going through a box a day.

Announcements

1.    We will be having a math assessment on Monday. homework for Friday consists of a study guide for this. The test will be in the same format and cover the same concepts.

2.    Pinocchio project due date, December 12th is quickly approaching. Please reach out to me if I can help clarify any directions. The assignment can be found here.

A Look in the Classroom

1.    Science: This week we will be learning about muscles. The students will differentiate between voluntary and involuntary muscles, learn the names of some of the major muscles in the human body, and do an activity to show the contraction of muscles. It is sure to be a fun week in Science!

2.    History: Students will finish their study of the incredible story of Julius Caesar, and on Tuesday there will be a review day for a test on Thursday. A study guide will come home on Tuesday afternoon, and we have prepared a Quizlet for students to use as an additional study resource. Please note: there are True/False and Multiple Choice questions for this test. This Quizlet will work best in the Flashcard setting, with students being prompted by the definition instead of the term.

3. Math: A math test is scheduled for Monday; please help your scholar prepare by going over the assignment sent home for homework today. We will begin our last unit of the quarter on Tuesday, which is data analysis. Students will learn how to read and interpret data presented to them in tables and graphs, as well as start making their own!

4. Language Arts: We will be spending a great deal of time discussing prepositional phrases and diagramming them. Pinocchio is just about to finally learn the lessons we have been hoping for as we quickly come to an end of this wonderful book. We will have a 30 word Spalding list.
