Quarter 3 Week 9

Hello Parents!

It is the last week of quarter 3! I hope everyone is looking forward to a well-deserved Spring Break. Here is a look at what we're doing in the classroom as we wrap up the quarter.

Wish List

1.    Tissues! We are diving right into allergy season and going through tissues quickly.

Announcements

1.    Please send your student in with his or her copy of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe as soon as we return from Spring Break. We have saved the best for last and the whole 3rd grade team is so excited to start our journey into Narnia.

A Look in the Classroom

1.    Language Arts/History: We are working hard at wrapping up our Explorers book, finishing strong with an opinion piece on Captain John Smith. The final product will be graded as an assessment in History. In Spalding we will have our usual 30 word Spalding list and our adventures with The Little Prince are coming to an end. We've had a lot of beautiful discussion on what it means to be tamed. 😃

2.    Math: This week we will be covering area and perimeter. There will not be a formal assessment for these chapters, but we will go through the assessment for the chapters together as a class on Friday.

3.    Science: We will be creating a study guide together as a class on Monday for our light unit. The students will take their assessment on Thursday.

Assessments

1.    Monday - Science Test

2.    Friday - Spelling Test
