Students have been exploring science forces and motion concepts through simple machines. In math we are continuing measurement, customary and metric. We continue to study problem solving strategies.
In reading we are determining the importance of a text, using note taking techniques and discussion. We continue to write about literature, science and math. We are also focusing on revising narrative writing using good word choice.
Our Valentines day party will be coming up. Thanks for all your help. Thanks to Mrs. G. for organizing another party.
If possible, can you please send in more pencils. We are very low on our supply. Also, we are looking for donations of word games, such as scrabble, or other age appropriate word games for third grade. If you are able to donate a game, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your support!

New Year
Welcome back, and happy 2012 to all our families. This year we will begin with a review of our goals, and revising them as needed. We will continue with our study of forces and motion in science. In reading we are working on determining importance in text. In writing we are writing expository essays. We have been using Patriccia Pollacco books as inspiration. We are working on measurement in math. Keep reading with your child and thanks for all your support.
