3rd Grade News
Take Note!
Still Learning
4th quarter is almost half over. We are working hard in the classroom. Students still need to complete homework on time! Please discuss with your child the importance of following class rules and procedures. As the end of school nears, the students feel that learning time is over. We still have a lot of material to cover in 7 weeks. They need to be respectful of my right to teach and others’ right to learn.Orscheln’s Field Trip
We will be learning about all things for spring at Orscheln’s. Animal health, the environment, and farm safety will be covered in this trip. Parents are welcome to attend! We will leave at 8:45 a.m. No out-of-uniform passes can be used on this day.
SubjectsMath
We have really been concentrating on math facts and computation in the classroom. We will continue to have worksheets as I narrow down specific computation error patterns. I know that it is a lot of work, but please understand that working problems will only get faster and easier for your child if he or she practices the skills.S.S.
Your child is studying the 50 states, their capitals, and abbreviations. Posting a map in your house or drilling your child in this information while in the car is very beneficial. We will have quizzes weekly.Science
We are studying physical science. Students will learn the differences between physical and chemical changes. We will do several experiments to demonstrate these concepts.Language Arts
Encourage your child to spice up those spelling sentences with some adjectives and adverbs! This will help reinforce the parts of speech that we will explore. In Reading, I will be taking fluency assessments. We are also working on main idea, topic sentences, and supporting details in writing.Religion
We have finished the marks of the Church and are now discussing the sacraments. The last Mass that 3rd grade will plan is on April 18. The kids have done a fantastic job this year!
