November

Thanks to our parent coordinator and party coordinator for making our Halloween celebration a success!  The students had a lot of fun, and took home great prizes. We appreciate all the parents who helped, behind the scenes, by sending in and purchasing items for the children.


In reading we are working on naming character traits by using the evidence in the text.  We look for what the character says or does and name the trait.  Students are working hard on this and practiced using adjectives in observations of a lima bean as well as many other science observations. 

In writing we have been using leaf observations to write a compare and contrast essay about 2 leaves. Students are really working hard to organize their writing. 

Our math study includes subtraction with regrouping up to 4 digit numbers.  Keep practicing math facts, and this will become more automatic.

We still need about 10 - 2 liter bottles. If you have any extra, please send them in!  They should be washed with water only- no soap please!  Thanks to our parent coordinator for cutting the bottles for us in preparation for another fun science project!

  We appreciate our classroom volunteers who have come in recently to work with our third graders! Thank you so  much!
