Late Slips
The third trimester begins on Monday, February 29th. Late slips will start for third grade. A note has been sent home in the take home folder explaining the process of late slips. There is also a tab on my blog that also explains it. The process has been explained to the students. As I have told the students, the best way to avoid getting late slips is to complete work on time. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Parent/Teacher Conferences

Reading Calendars
March calendars have been included in the take home folder. Please return February calendars by Thursday, March 3rd. The goal for March is 500 minutes. The month of March will be the last month of the reading program.
Science
Third grade is preparing for a test over the solar system. Students are completing the chapter review and study guide. The test will be next week.
Math
Third grade has started working on division. Students did a partner activity this week that focused on taking a total number of counters and figuring how many groups and the number in each group. Some students were relating their findings to multiplication. Students will learn strategies for solving division problems
Overall the students did a great job on the Chapter 5 test. Please continue to practice the basic multiplication facts to help with division.
Reading/Language Arts
Students this week are reading the informational text called "The Journey-Stories of Migration"by Cynthia Rylant. Students are learning about whales and locusts migrating. The comprehension skill covered compare and contrast. Students identified similarities and differences in how and why each animal migrates. The vocabulary skill focused on word roots. The class continued to work on adverbs and adjectives that compare. The phonics skill worked on spelling changes for words with -s, -es, -ed, and -ing.
The weekly assessment results from lesson 21 have been included in the take home folder.
