Week of Oct. 17th

Hello parents,
I hope that are all enjoying the lovely fall weather.  I had a great week with your kids last week.  They really are a sweet group!  Please take a minute to look at what is coming up in 3rd grade...

Religion: We will be covering the 9th commandment this week, which talks about coveting.

Math: We are talking about money, especially making money exchanges which leads to adding and subtracting it.  This is a great time to start having your kids pay attention in the checkout line at the store!

Reading: We are going to be combining our Reading and Social Studies for the next 2 weeks.  The story Boomtown is a great tie in to the topic of "Change over time" in Social Studies.  I began teaching the kids a new way to do vocabulary cards using the app "Pic Collage".  This will be something that your kids do at least a little bit of most weeks.  They will need time to work on an ipad to complete this, which I will give them plenty of in class.  However, if your kiddos really want to do some of this at home I am attaching the directions sheet HERE.

Science: Our class is now studying life cycles by observing live crayfish.  We have 10 little crayfish that the kids are working with for the next several weeks.

Important Dates:

Friday 21st - Fall party at 2pm
Tuesday 25th - Candy Corn Festival
October 24 - 26th Book Fair
Thursday 27th  - Early Dismissal P/T conferences
Friday 28th - No School
Monday 31st (Halloween) - Daniel Boone Home Field Trip
