Bandaid Competition!

Bandaid Competition:

Next week, February 29-March 4, Bauer will be collecting bandaids for the Helen Devos Children's Hospital. In celebration of Cambri Jewell's (Caden Jewell's sister) last chemo appointment, Jewell's are asking people to join them in giving back to the hospital by donating FUN bandaids that the patients can choose from after their chemo ports are removed. In efforts to collect as many boxes as we can, we are making this a competition. The class that brings in the most boxes of bandaids will win Sprinkles Donuts. If you would rather donate money, that is great too. We will go out and purchase bandaids with any money raised. 

IMPORTANT:  All band aids must be medication and latex free.  CURAD® and Nexcare™ are some of the best brands for latex free options. Thank you so much for considering this!

Reading:
We began our non-fiction unit in reading. The students are reading non-fiction books from the library as well as reading about Michigan History during Social Studies. We will be focusing on finding main ideas and details in our non-fiction books. The students will be checking out non-fiction books from the library and fiction books. Please check to see at home if you have any Bauer library books lying around, we were missing quite a few last Wednesday.

Writing:
We finished our Opinion Unit before Winter Break and have jumped right into our next writing unit: Information Essays. Last week we generated ideas about topics that we are experts on and know a lot about. In the next couple weeks we will be focusing on categorizing our ideas, writing topic sentences and paragraphs to support our idea.

Math:
We are continuing with Unit 3 in Math: Measurement, Time, and Graphs. The students have been doing a great job finding elapsed time and adding and subtracting intervals of time. It is a very tricky concept for 3rd graders. Any chance that you can get at home to practicing elapsed time would be great! We will be finishing Unit 3 in the next 2 weeks.

Social Studies:
We began our Michigan History Unit on Monday.  We started off by learning about the Hopewell Indians and will continue next week by learning about the 3 Fires.
