Thanks and Some Updates

At this time, I have had the opportunity to meet with all families to share all the great things your third graders are doing every day at school! Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to come into school and see the amazing progress your children are making! 

As always, if anything comes up, please feel free to call or email me! 

I enjoyed seeing many of you at the spaghetti dinner/book fair last night!

A couple of housekeeping items: 

The third graders have filled our sunband jar again and have voted for pajama day on Friday. They can wear pajamas to school on Friday. I did explain to them that we have P.E. and the Fun Run, so to choose pajamas that will allow for those activities. 

Literacy: We are just finishing up our first reading unit about Building a Reading Life. We will be transitioning into a new informational text unit starting next week. I'm sure you will be hearing lots of interesting new facts at home soon! To connect with our reading unit, we will also be starting an informational writing unit. Third graders will have a chance to write about a topic they are an expert on! 

Math: We are in the middle of our second unit which focuses on multiplication. I have been amazed by the creative and efficient strategies the third graders come up with! 

Science: In November and December, we will be starting to learn about weather, different climates and natural hazards!
