3^rd Grade Bowling Party

Wednesday, May 20

10 a.m.-Noon

Gold Cup Bowling

More info coming soon! Check your calendar and see if you will be able to join us. We will need drivers and lots of chaperones!

Please encourage your 3^rd grader to finish strong by completing all homework assignments and returning them to school the next day. There is still much academic work to be done.  Let’s keep at it until May 22!  This is an important time in the school year as we prepare your child for transition to fourth grade. Thank you for your continued support in this area.

4th quarter AR goal is a minimum of 5 points by May 15. At least 2 books must be chapter books.

We have covered several different methods of multiplying. The students have enjoyed seeing how "partial products"  works and how easy "lattice" really is. Have your student demonstrate both of these methods at home. Why don't you show them the old-fashioned way at home?

We have begun our last book of the year, Dog Friday. What a great way to end 3rd grade!

Be sure to check out our names in hieroglyphs if you are on the third grade hall. Egypt projects are due on Monday, May 4.

Invention Convention began in class this week. You may be asked to send in a few recyclable (free) supplies and to answer a few “brainstorming” questions together at home. The rest of the project will be completed at school in cooperative groups.
