Week of April 4th

Tyton was all dressed up for picture day... which actually turned out to be Spirit Day. He looked handsome, none-the-less! 

I loved Amy's shirt :)

Evan's fluffy hair made my day!

Jackson took third place at his wrestling tournament. Way to go, buddy!

My childhood best friend, Kaitlyn, also happens to be Sam's aunt. She was in town for a visit, so she brought in her baby for us to meet. 

Sam and his cute cousin, Cora!

Bennett found a pair of Paw Patrol gardening gloves. His life is now complete! ha!

This week in reading we will be on Unit 5, Week 2, which will focus on the question: How can we reuse what we already have? We will read two realistic fiction stories: "Bravo, Tavo!" and "The New Hoop." We will also read the expository (factual) text called "Trash into Art." We will work on the skills of summarizing, point of view, homographs, and pronouns this week. All of our spelling words this week will have inflected endings (-ed, -ing, -s). 

In math, we will continue on in Chapter 11, which is focusing on perimeter and area. Students are doing fabulous on this math standard. I am seriously impressed!

In science, we will begin working on building our compound machine. 

We will use our social studies time to continue researching our hero for our reports and Wax Museum project. Your child has a folder that they are using to organize the information they are gathering. Please touch base with them to see how their research is coming along. I told them that by May, they should be an absolute expert on their hero!

Have an amazing weekend!  If you have any questions regarding your child's report card, please don't hesitate to email or call.

Week of March 27th

I am putting this picture on here one more time, because it seriously made my week! I've never had a student make a shirt for me before! :)

Look at the cute, clever treats that Easton brought for St. Patrick's Day. Can't believe I forgot to take a picture of TJ with his delicious cupcakes! 

Annika and Mya had matching light-up earrings! Too cute!

It was fun to watch the Will James Honor Choir perform on Tuesday. Some of our classmates even got to go on stage for the final number. See if you can spot Marissa, Amy, and Tyton in the picture!

Happy Birthday, Marissa! You are sweet, positive, hard working, optimistic, smart, and so kind. We hit the jackpot when we got you in our class! Hoping your day is as special as you are!

I was extremely proud of Tyler and Laurel for doing a Science Fair project. That is a lot of work and not required, way to go guys! You rock!

This week in reading, we will begin Unit 5, Week 1, which will answer the essential question: How do we get what we need? We will read two fairy tales, "Clever Jack Takes the Cake" and "Juanita and the Beanstalk." We will also read the expository (factual) text "When Corn Was Cash." This week we will work on the skills of summarizing, point of view, root words, and singular/plural pronouns. All of our spelling words this week will be compound words. The vocabulary words we will be focusing on this week are:

In math this week, we will begin Chapter 11: Perimeter and Area. We will work on modeling perimeter, finding perimeter, finding the unknown side lengths, and understanding area. Thank you for continuing to encourage your child to work on their multiplication and division facts at home. It helps tremendously when they can recall their facts fluently. Only one more quarter until fourth grade math!

Mark your calendars: our THIRD GRADE SPRING MUSICAL will be on April 6th at 8:45!

I hope everyone has a delightful weekend. See you Monday!
