Looking ahead to the week of October 22 (STEM)

Calling all acorns!  We are going to start collecting acorns, which will be donated to the baby squirrels at Carolina Wildlife!  Please send your acorns in by Friday, October 26!

Hi, families!  I hope you all have enjoyed the start to your week!

LIFESKILL of the week:  The LIFESKILL of the week is friendship!  Discuss examples of friendship with your child and celebrate moments of using this LIFESKILL while at school, home, and out and about in the community.

Study guides:  As a third grade team, we've noticed several students not completing study guides in the week they are given to do them.  We are offering students three extra points on the corresponding assessments if they complete study guides by the day they are due for review.  

Looking ahead to next week:  As historians, students begin looking at European exploration. As mathematicians, they will begin learning how to tell time to the nearest minute.  We will be using the Engage New York curriculum for this unit, so please see the family letter below. In reading, students will take a look at informational text features (timelines, maps, charts, the appendix, glossary, photographs, illustrations, and captions) through our Treasures story, Home-Grown Butterflies.  They'll learn how these features further explain the text.  As writers, they will produce and publish another personal narrative.  Students will study comparative/superlative adjectives and adverbs, as well.   



Thank you again for all of your support!
