The Wonderful World of Third Grade

5-21 through 5-25

REMEMBER
We will be celebrating a First Communion Mass on Monday.
Students must be dressed for Mass.
NO SHORTS and NO DRESS DOWN PASSES ALLOWED!

We will however have a missions dress down day on Friday  -- Students can dress down for a $1 missions donation.

A HUGE and special thank you to the parents who
Spent Friday afternoon working at our Wacky Olympics.
It was a wonderful, energetic and fun learning experience. 
Again, thank you for your hard work and effort in helping to make it a great day for our students!! We couldn’t have done it without you!


•    We are entering our last full week of school.  Wow, it is hard to believe that our year is coming to an end.  What a wonderful year it has been, learning, faith, fun and friendship, who could ask for more?  I understand that we are all very busy this time of year so I am working very hard this week to send home little to no homework.

•     I will be doing Simple Solutions Science and Grammar with the students during class, those books will not be coming home again.  I will be trying to get through the math also, however you may see that book come home with a little work left to finish. 

•    In Math we will be finishing chapter 14.  The quiz will be on Friday.  Students will also have two more chances to pass the 6-minute multiplication timed-test. Memorizing these facts is imperative to their future success in math.  We have been working on this for so long, I am hoping this will be the week that it all comes to fruition.  Please spend a little time on those flash cards!   IXL this week is not required but will be counted as extra credit in math if your child wishes to complete thirty to sixty minutes.

•    Reading Journal will be required as my wish is that nightly reading is a habit that has been instilled in my students, rather than a chore!  In reading we will be reading about the Titanic.  Students will focus on sequence of events and summarizing.

•    In Language Arts we will be working with figurative language.  Students will be focusing on idioms this week. 


•     In Science we will be working with inclined planes, friction and simple machines.  Students will be working in groups to create marble mazes that contain the 5 simple machines we have been working with.

•    In Social Studies we will be reviewing map skills and students will also be introduced to State of Ohio facts with a coloring book from the state. 


Have a Fantastic Week!
