Third Grades A Hoot!

Whats Happening In Our Class?


Hello everyone. I had a
wonderful time speaking
with all of you at conferences. If you have any
more questions or concerns,
please let me know.
In math we are on
Unit 3. Unit 3 will cover
measuring, perimeter and
area. We are continuing to
work on addition /subtraction facts if needed. Some
of you also took home a
multiplication mad minute
pack to get a head start on
learning multiplication
facts. You will see more
info on this after Christmas
break. I have also given
everyone extra challenge
packs to work on when they
finish their journal work.
When your child turns this
in they will earn a no math
homework coupon for them
to use whenever they wish!
In addition, I have a fourth
grade math pack that is
available for parents. This
is a take home pack to complete at home for an extra
challenge. Students may
bring the pack back to
school for a no homework
coupon when they are done.
Many of these concepts
may be new and will not be

taught during the school


day. Please let me know if
you are interested in this.
In language arts we
are working on character
traits of characters with
Chrysanthemum and Wimberly Worried. We are also
exploring perspective with
The 5 mile Poem about
the Mackinac bridge. We
are also continuing to use
our caf strategies as we
read to make us better
thinkers.
Our next science
unit will be light and sound.
Students will discover how
light travels, why it is needed as well as how sound is
produced.
In social studies we
are finishing up our study
of geography. We will create a topography map of
Michigan and then painted
it. These will come home in
time for Thanksgiving. We
will have a short test on
this unit after Thanksgiving. Look for a review
sheet to come home soon.
Many of you have
donated clorax wipes.

Thank you! With cold and


flu season upon us it is important that we clean our
desks often. If you would
like to donate more wipes I
would appreciate it.
Thank you to the
Cooper family for donating
hooks for our lockers for
our snow pants.
Please dont forget
to have your child dress for
the weather. Its time for
coats, mittens, hats
scarves, and boots. Also
please put your childs name
on their items so that all
the lost mittens will find
their way home!
