Looking Ahead...

I hope you all had an amazing Spring Break! Whether you were somewhere warm or in Michigan, I hope you found some time to relax.

Here are some important dates coming up to mark on your calendars for the next couple of weeks!

Thursday, April 14: Science Test over Animals

Monday, April 18 : Math Test over Fractions

Wednesday, April 27: M-STEP Begins for 3rd Graders!


In math, we've been working on identifying fractions as a part of a whole, comparing fractions, and finding equivalent fractions. Your child can continue to practice fractions on Study Island!

In writing, we've been researching an animal of our choice. This week we will be using all of our information that we've found through our research to compose a paper!

In Reading, the students are continuing to work hard on meeting their SRC goals that they have set for themselves. We've been integrating science and reading a lot the past couple of weeks. It's been a lot of fun having the students read to learn about their animals and all the different adaptations their animal uses to survive.

In science, we have been learning about invertebrates and vertebrates. The students will be responsible for knowing the 4 B's for different animals for the test. (Breathing, Body Covering, Babies, Blooded). There will be a review coming home Wednesday with flash cards and a 4 B's practice sheet.


Thank you again to all our Mystery Readers that joined us during Reading Month! It was so special for the students to listen to all of the different books and see some family members surprise them. : )
