Announcements
The conference confirmation times were sent home this week in the Friday folder. Please let me know as soon as possible if you need to reschedule.
We will be celebrating Valentine's day on Thursday, February 14th. Please have your student bring their Valentine cards and their optional box on this day or earlier. There is no school on Friday, February 15th or Monday, February 18th.
The third grade won a pizza/ice cream party at the Comet Carnival Auction this year! They will be receiving their party on Friday, February 22nd during their lunch period. Each student will get a juice box, 2 slices of pizza, and custard from Andy's. We are excited to celebrate on this day!
In the Classroom
We spent much of math this week studying multiplication strategies. We made posters for various strategies that are both appropriate and efficient. Ask your third grader which strategy they use the most!
In writing, we finished partner revising and editing our expert pieces this week.

In reading this week, students focused on finding text evidence in their independent books. We completed reading responses that asked us to answer a question AND give proof or evidence from the text. Here are some of the responses we studied as models.
We finished our Geography unit this week. Students took an assessment on Tuesday. We also completed a Mystery Skype! Our mystery class was from Wisconsin. We loved using our geography skills to figure out where they were from. Each student did their job well, and the class really worked together. Here are the photos our photographer captured during the skype!
Luckily, we were able to still have another Mystery Skype on Friday. This mystery class was from Ontario, Canada! It was an added challenge to have a class outside of the U.S., but was so much fun talking with them.
