The Wonderful World of Third Grade – Final Edition!

5-29 through 6-1

It is with a heavy heart I write my last newsletter of the year.
I have cherished each and every day that I have spent with your children,
And appreciate the trust and faith that you placed in our school and in me.

The children have grown both socially and academically this year.
I am so proud of their achievement and progress.

My time a Sts. Peter and Paul school has been a truly amazing period in my life.
I thank you all for letting me be a part of your family over the past six years.
Although my life is transitioning into a new phase,
I will always hold close the time I have spent here in the Third Grade and the
six classes of children I have been honored to teach.

You will be missed,
 God Bless…

Our week, short but sweet:

Tuesday – Field Day – Please dress appropriately for our day.  Tennis shoes only, not tank tops, and shorts must be no shorter than 4 inches above the knee. 

Wednesday – We will have our awards ceremony for the school at 9:30.  Students in Third Grade will be given awards in class on Thursday afternoon from me.

Friday – Mass & 10:00 dismissal.

I will be passing out report cards and an end of the year gift on Friday.  Please make sure that your child is in attendance, as I want to spend my last few days enjoying all my students to the fullest.

In reading we will be focused on National Geographic Explorer.  We will be reading and completing the smart board lessons that compliment the articles.  Please keep the reading habit continuing throughout the summer.  Students need to continue to read to help avoid the dreaded “summer slide”!  Twenty minutes a day is ideal.  I will send home a few incentives from Scholastic and Book It to help motivate.  Also please do not forget about the summer reading program at the Doylestown Library.



In math we will be reviewing multiplication and division with some learning games.  I will also be introducing a new game from Scholastic at www.kakooma.com. 
Students will be bringing home a flier.  Also please remember that IXL is available for all the students through the summer.

Students will review Pentecost and the Rosary in Religion.

In Science we will be completing our Simple Machines project on Wednesday and presenting them to the class on Thursday.

In Social Studies we will have our final payday and shopping of the year.  Students will wrap up their economics unit by Thursday.

In Language Arts we are finishing Tuck Everlasting.  Students will watch the movie and compare and contrast the book to the movie version.

Have a Blessed week and a wonderful summer!
