MATH
Third grade has been measuring objects to the nearest inch, 1/2 inch and 1/4 inch. Students are also learning about perimeter and area.
SCIENCE
There was a test covering force today. Third grade will next learn about famous scientists.
READING/LANGUAGE ARTS
This week third grade read the realistic fiction story entitled "Saving Buster." In this story Buster the service dogs gets hurt and needs an operation. The owners don't know how they will pay the bill. A neighbor comes up with a plan to help out. The comprehension skill covered drawing conclusions and questioning. The vocabulary strategy focused on compound words. In grammar students worked on pronouns. Students worked on the schwa sound in phonics.
The Unit 29 weekly assessment results have been included in the take home folder.
Next week there will be a spelling test covering one word from each of the thirty lists that the students learned. There will be no packet next week. Students will also be taking the Unit 6 Benchmark Test next week as well.

FIELD TRIP
The third grade class will be going on a field trip to the Science Center of Iowa on Tuesday, May 19th. I still have a few students that have not returned the permission slips and the fee. Please get these turned into me by Friday, May 15th. I have secured enough drivers for the trip. Thank you to Staci Pokorny, Tonya Green, Lora Pellman, and Chris Walter for volunteering to drive. The trip is booked for twenty-seven people and that is what we have going. We will leave school around 8:30 AM. Students may bring electronics for the car ride to and from Des Moines. We will return around 3:00 PM so students can ride the bus and be picked up from school. A sack lunch with a drink is needed on this day. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
