Weekly Update

Hello Third Grade Families,

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! It's hard to believe we have just 3 weeks until our December break. Please take a moment to save these important dates:

PTA/Foundation Meeting--3rd grade performs	December 5th, 6:00pm
Holiday Shoppe	December 7th
Early Release	December 19th and 20, 12:15 pm
Winter Holidays-School Closed	December 23rd - January 1st Students return on January 6th

As you can see, our big 3rd grade performance is this Thursday! Dr. Sampson will be giving out more information this week. If you have immediate questions, her email is michele.sampson@cobbk12.org. 

Here's a look at our ELA learning this week:

In both reading and writing, we will be focusing on compare & contrast. In reading, we will focus on finding similarities and differences in the text we read. In writing, we will write about the similarities and differences of two similar topics (like butterflies and moths, for example). We will learn that there are specific words that authors use to signal a comparison. Hopefully, the students will begin using these phrases in their own writing too.

As always, please let me or Mrs. Westbrook know if you have any questions or concerns. I can't wait to see everyone!
