What’s Happening in Third Grade?

 

 

 

I can’t believe we are so far into the month of January!  Your children returned to school refreshed and ready to learn.  Hopefully they have told you about our ZOOLAND interact.  Thanks to Mrs. Rowe and her children, the students were welcomed to ZOOLAND when they arrived at school last Monday.   Later in the month, you will be invited to a ZOOLAND presentation.

 

Third grade students are currently reading their first chapter book of the year.  We will be reading a chapter a day in class.  Understanding and remembering what a child reads is a big focus of third grade reading; therefore it is best if they are asked questions right after reading.  Many of the children are growing well in this skill.  Also, in regard to reading, we did not have many students complete their Book-It reading for December even though I had moved the due date to January 3.  Please be sure to have your child read daily and strive for completing at least 200 pages for the month.

 

With this letter, students will be given information concerning a Paper Bag Book Report.   The reports are a lot of fun, and last year’s students asked to do them several times.   Please discuss the book your child is reporting on and help oversee that what is put in the bag represents the contents of the book.

 

A special thanks to Mrs. Prosser for teaching the students how to make the adorable snow people.  She provided all the supplies and did an outstanding job of teaching.  If you have a project you would like to share with the class, please let me know.  I have been accumulating pictures of the students doing various things.  Could anyone help lead a project to put them on paper?  Mrs. Peterson has been preparing folders that we will put the photos in.

 

Thank you for all the ways you bless our class and me.  We need more toilet wipes and waterless hand cleaner.  We use the hand cleaner before we eat our snack each day.  Thanks for your help!

 

Please come to me with any concerns you may have.

 

In His service,

Mrs. Shallcross
