Weekly Update-May 20

Announcements


It is so hard to believe next week is our last week! We have many fun events and activities planned. There are still a few openings for our 3rd Grade Cooking day. If you can donate, follow the link below. Food and supplies should be sent Tuesday, May 24th or earlier. 


Checklists were removed from Friday Folders so grade cards could be completed. We also completed our final Weekly Journal letter. Both the Friday Folder and the Weekly Journal may be kept at home. I hope the journal will be a wonderful keepsake of your third grader's year!

Grade cards will come home on the last day of school, Thursday, May 26th. Please note this is also an early dismissal at 12:50. If your third grader will not be here Thursday, please send a stamped, self-addressed envelope so the grade card can be mailed to you. If your third grader has a negative lunch account or books checked out from the library, their grade card will be put in the office until those issues are resolved.

Yearbooks were sent home last week in the Friday folder. If your third grader would like to have their yearbook signed by teachers and classmates, they can bring it back on the last day of school. I will also have a memory book for students to sign if they do not have a yearbook.

In the Classroom
We continued our Measurement unit in math this week. Students learned about units of length, weight, and capacity. On Monday, they completed a measurement scavenger hunt to practice their measuring and estimating skills. 





In Science this week, we went back and reviewed Ecosystems to prepare for our field trip to Runge Nature Center. Thank you to our volunteers who accompanied us to Runge. We had a fabulous time, enjoyed the beautiful weather, and had the chance to see some of the concepts we learned in Ecosystems up close!


















In reading this week, we began a whole class book club on Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. We continued working on our ABC book of third grade in writing.
