Math

The next concept students will learn about is telling time. Students will tell time to the nearest minute. Students will also calculate elapsed time.

Science

The third grade class is learning about matter.  Students have studied the three states of matter (solid, liquid, and gas). Students learned about how the particles are arrange in each state of matter.

Reading/Language Arts

Students are doing several reading/language arts related activities. Students have read the narrative nonfiction story "The Foot Race Across America." Skills worked on analyzing, or thinking carefully about what they read, and evaluating, or forming opinions about it.

The book The Best Part of Me was read aloud to the class. Students are now in process of writing their own version of this wonderful story.

Students also took the "End of the Year" spelling pretest. The list includes one word from each of the twenty-five lessons covered. The post test will be on Tuesday, May 18th.

The results of the Unit 5 Benchmark test have been included in the take home. The biography book report project/presentation rubric has also been included in the take home folder.

Absent from School

I will be absent from school on Friday, May 14th to attend my son's sectional golf tournament at Winterset. The hope is he golfs well enough to qualify for the regional tournament on May 20th.

Last Day of School

The last day of school at STM is scheduled for Thursday, May 27th. Students will need to bring a sack lunch with a drink on this day. There will also be field day activities on this day.
