This week we are trying to "get back to normal". Of course, that's hard to do with Field Day on Thursday and Spring Break starting on Friday! We will wait until after the break for new vocabulary, but we will have a spelling test this Thursday.
We are publishing our realistic fiction stories this week in writer's workshop. The students are also finishing their partner reader books in reading workshop. We are continuing to work with angles in math as well as symmetry this week. In science, we will explore how adding weight will effect our "cars", and in social studies we are discussing the Plains Indians.
Your child has been assigned a color for field day. He/she should wear that color shirt if possible. I'm sure they will have a fun day!
Reading Week begins on the Monday that everyone returns from Spring Break. We are kicking off the week by encouraging children to wear something that represents their favorite book character. The children will be able to see one another's costumes at Town Meeting that morning! Please be creative, and not feel the need to purchase anything. Oldie Goldie will take place that Friday. We need books donated to help make this a success. Maybe there is a little time during Spring Break to do some spring cleaning of the bookshelves. :-)
Once again, thank you for all you do to help make third grade a successful year for your child.
Wishing you all a wonderful week and a happy, safe Spring Break!
Ms. Mitchell
