Please continue to check and sign assignment books books on a daily basis. It is important for the students to be making sure it gets done each day. In fourth grade, a student will get a late slip after repeated days of not having the assignment book signed. I am trying to develop good habits now, so students understand the importance of being organized.
Anyone else ready for spring? I would be happy if we could put the snow boots and gloves away.

Reading/Language Arts
Third grade read the informational text "The Mystery of the Albertosaurus-Phillip Currie's Hunt in the Badlands. The comprehension skill covered drawing conclusions. Students need to look at details from the story to do this. The vocabulary skill focused on the suffix
-ly meaning "in a certain way." Students worked on with the /j/ and /s/ sounds and VCCV words in phonics. The grammar skill continued to work with adjectives. This week student are using adjectives to compare two nouns by using -er, ier, and more and compare more than two nouns by using -est, iest, and most.

In the take home folder is the weekly test results from lesson 16. These are yours to keep. In addition are the results of the Unit 3 Benchmark test. From these results you can see how your child has done on unit 1, 2, and 3. These tests are harder than the weekly tests. These assessments show if students are applying strategies in unfamiliar texts. Texts are fiction and nonfiction.
Math
Third grade continues to work on multiplication. Students have been introduced to the Associative Property which states when the grouping of factors is changed, the products is the same. An example of this is (4 X 2) X 3= 4 X (2 X 3). Students also looked at patterns on the multiplication table.
Science
The next topic that third grade will learn about is the solar system. Students will learn about the sun, moon, and planets.
St.Malachy Foundation Auction
It has been decided that third grade is going to make a quilt for the silent auction. Each student will personalize a square for the quilt next Wednesday, January 20th. Again, in the live auction third grade will be doing a "Backyard Fire Pit" basket. Please send all donations to school by Friday, February 19th. All donations are greatly appreciated.
