Today we got to create our African masks in Art. We are going to do the final vote for our class election tomorrow since we ran out of time today. We got the books from the book order and it came with 10 free books for the classroom! We do not have any specials tomorrow. Today Conner was showing PRIDE by listening to the teacher's directions.

Check back next time,

From Mrs. S.:
We have been very busy in third grade recently! Here are some updates on what we are doing in the classroom:

-In Reading, we are practicing using details in text to find the main idea or central message. We started practicing this skill with a story and have moved on to poems.
-In Social Studies, we learned about the way our government is structured. We are reviewing for a test on Wednesday. We will be completing a study guide that the students will be able to use during the test, in order to make them more comfortable with their first Social Studies test.After the test, we will begin our first Science unit.
-In Math, we are finishing up Unit 2 and will be testing on this on Wednesday. Just as in Unit 1, we will complete a review on Tuesday in class and there will be review homework on Tuesday night. This review sheet will be very similar to the test, so it is important that the students are completing it!
-In Writing, we discussed the importance of each step of the writing process and the students are currently working on their first substantial writing piece. Ask your child what they chose to write about and which graphic organizer they used to organize their thoughts.

Have a good week!
Mrs. Slessinger
