3rd Grade Newsletter 10/26-10/30

Hello 3rd grade families! Thank you all so so so much for joining us on Wednesday for our All Saints Day Celebration! I am so proud of each and every single one of our 3rd graders as they all worked tremendously hard researching and preparing for the day. I hope you all enjoyed and learned a little something about the Saints! Happy Halloween and Happy All Saints Day!

Math: Students continue to learned multiplication. We have covered x2, x3, x5, x10.

Literacy: Students are continuing to read their I Survived books and have been meeting in their Literature Groups to analyze the story.

Spelling: How to spell words with the suffixes -s -es -ed -ing

Grammar: How do we change base words to show past and present tenses

Writing: We have picked up the pace with cursive. We are continuing to go over uppercase letters and using our cursive skills in paragraph form.

Vocabulary: combined with literacy and social studies. Made connections across all subjects to use new vocabulary words. Geography, physical features, climate, natural resources, community

Social Studies: Students are now learning about the Geography of our communities. We made brochures of Minnesota about the physical features, climate, and natural resources we have.

Religion: Students completed their Saints Project!! SO PROUD OF ALL THEIR HARD WORD. We will continue to dive into the little vritue of the year Hospitality.

Thank you all again for joining us. We had an absolutely beautiful celebration that would not have been possible without all of you. Students worked so hard and I am so happy they got to share their hard work with all of you. Here are some pictures of the fun!

Oh my goodness! 3rd Graders went all out with the costumes this year! So amazing to celebrate and make the day a little more festive!

For a project, students were tasked with making a travel brochure about Minnesota! They talked about our physical features, climate, natural resources, and some even talked about wildlife and amazing food we have! Here are some pictures!

We have library on Monday, November 2nd next week, please encourage your child to turn in any library books they have had for awhile. They can turn this into the bin as they walk into school in the morning.

Please encourage and remind your child to pack a snack everyday. I am even encouraging students to pack it before they go to bed since the mornings can be tough sometimes!

Every student should have their uniform shoes (white) and an alternative pair (athletic shoe for gym and recess) everyday. Please help double check that students are bringing their athletic pair.

Spelling packets: Given on Mondays, due on Thursday

Spelling tests: On Fridays

Math: Given daily M-Th.

No homework on weekends or over breaks. However, if you would like your student to do some extra practice, remember that you can access their math materials digitally from home.

We ask that students complete about 20-25 minutes of reading outside of school each day. This can be creative, like reading a recipe out loud, the instructions to a board game, or even reading a script! I want reading at home to be fun and creative!
