Wow! I cannot believe that it is almost the end of April! It seems like each week flies by faster and faster. We have a lot of fun things planned for May, so be sure to stay on the lookout for what's coming up this month.
Here's a look at what is going on in third grade this week:
MAP Testing: I am so impressed by all of the hard work and effort all of my third graders have been putting towards MAP testing. We finished the math portion of the test, and we are moving on to the Communication Arts section starting Tuesday. Please make sure to continue to support your students at home by providing a healthy breakfast and a good night's sleep each night.
As a reward for all of our hard work, this Friday the third graders will have the opportunity to choose from a few different movies to watch in one of the third grade classrooms. The third grade teachers will provide students with pizza, drinks, and snacks. We will be using the left over MAP testing snacks for this party. If you would like to donate money for our pizza party it would be much appreciated. The third grade teachers will be paying for this out of pocket.
Reading: We are finishing up our unit on poetry and starting to read fairytales this week!
Writing: What a fantastic group of young poets I have! Once again, I am SO impressed by the hard work that the class has been putting towards writing poetry. We will be focusing on haikus this week, and painting our favorite poems with watercolors!
Math: We are going to return to fractions this week!
