Weekly Update

Hello Third Grade Families,

I hope everyone enjoyed the surprise snow day! My family and I definitely did!

Please save the following dates on your calendar:

Mon., Feb. 10th Week, Teacher Appreciation Week

Tues. Feb. 11th, Papa John's Night

Thurs., Feb. 13th, Progress Reports go home for students at risk of receiving a 1 in any area

Fri., Feb 14th, Valentine's Day

Mon., Feb. 17th--Fri., Feb 21st, No School, Winter Break

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

In reading, we will continue our unit on comparing and contrasting. Students should be able to compare the characters, setting, plot and theme of two stories. We will use the books Jumanji and Zathura by Chris Van Allsburg to help us practice this skill this week.

In writing, we will finish typing our final draft of our opinion piece. We are also working on editing as we type the final drafts.

We will begin to learn about conjunctions this week.

Don't forget that we will be exchanging valentines this Friday at school. There are 22 students in our class. A list of names went home to make sure no one is forgotten. Let me know if you need another copy. Students are welcome to bring a decorated box or bag to collect their goodies. 

As always, let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you!

Laura Kloos
