Welcome back to the second half of the school year! I hope everyone had a good break and is ready for more fun and learning in third grade.

Math

Third grade students continue to work on solving multiplication problems. Students have been introduced to the Distributive Property and Associative Property. Please continue to practice the basic facts at home.

Science

The third grade class about continues to learn animal and plant adaptations. 

Reading/Language Arts

This week third grade read aloud the nonfiction selection "Aero and Officer Mike-Police Partners" by  Joan Plummer Russell.  In this story, the reader learns about  Aero, a police dog who works with Officer Mike.  Students learn about the training Aero goes through, the special police car that Officer Mike drives, and the visits in the community. The comprehension skill covered author's purpose. The vocabulary skill focused on the prefix of im- and in-. Students worked on pronoun verb agreement as the grammar skill. The phonics skill covered words with -or, -ore, and -or.

Seeking Donations for Newspaper Insert and Radio Commercials

Our 8th-grade class is writing articles for a large insert in the Creston News Advertiser and our 6th-grade class is preparing 15-second commercials to be broadcast 5 times each on KSIB radio. The insert will be distributed and the ads broadcast during Catholic Schools Week. The cost for the insert and ads will be approximately $1700. We need your help to fund these great pieces about our school.  If you are interested in helping, please click the link here: https://hsse.churchcenter.com/giving/to/school-marketing
