Looking ahead to the week of June 2

During Junior Achievement, students learned about the importance of putting money in a bank and earning interest. 

 

 

Hi, families!  I hope you all enjoyed your three-day weekend!  

Looking ahead:  As historians and scientists, students will finish developing board games for units taught throughout the year.  They will also work on a famous South Carolinians scavenger hunt and symbols book, if time permits.  As writers, they will create their own yearbook, full of memories from their third grade year. In math, students will create a product to "sell" at a money celebration.  Students will have the opportunity to practice what they've learned about making change in the fewest coins possible.

Fees and Report Cards:  Be sure to pay any unpaid fees, so your child can receive his/her report card the last day of school.  If fees are unpaid, you will need to pick up his/her report card from the front office this summer.  If you have questions about overdue fees, lost or damaged media center books, please contact Ms. Sease in the media center.  If you have questions about payments to the Seaside Cafe, please contact Mrs. Mills, our cafe manager.

Ms. Guntupalli volunteers with the Junior Achievement program.  She is visiting us throughout the month of May, to teach the children about city planning, zones, money, and the importance of education.

Hi, families!  I hope you all enjoyed the cooler weather this weekend!  

Looking ahead:  Students will continue book clubs, in reading.  As historians and scientists, they will continue developing board games for units taught throughout the year.  They will also work on a famous South Carolinians scavenger hunt and symbols book.  As writers, they will develop a chapter book, which will center on the idea of doing your personal best in third grade.  They will also create a class yearbook.  In math, students will revisit various algorithms, when multiplying multi-digit numbers. Please continue to encourage your child to practice his/her facts every day!  It is very important for students to have a great grasp on basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts!  Students will continue to have mixed operation quizzes throughout the rest of the school year.
