Reading/Language Arts

This week the class has been taking the Unit 5 Benchmark test. Please look for the results next week. I have also been FAST testing students in reading.

Math

The third grade class is working on fractions. Students have determined and drew the whole unit when given one part. Also, students have represented fractions less than one and greater than one on a number line.

Science

This week the class has been sharing their Google Slides presentations on severe weather. I am really impressed with the effort students put into this project.

Biography Book Report Projects

The biography book report projects are due on Friday, May 5th. I am so excited to see what the students have created this year. Please have your child return the book, report form, and project to school. As a reminder, the Biography Bash will be held on Friday, May 12th from 2:00-3:00 PM in the gym.

Creston Arts Center Field Trip

Each class at STM will be going to the Creston Arts Center to participate in an art activity. The third grade class time is from 10:30-11:00 AM. Each class will walk to and from the center. Please note the students will be using dye, which can stain clothing and shoes. Please don't wear new clothing that might get ruined.

Trail of Iowa Corn Field Trip

The third grade class has been invited to participate in "On the Trail of Iowa Corn" put on by the Iowa Farm Bureau in Greenfield on Thursday, May 11th. The class will ride the trolley to the ISU Neely-Kinyon Research Farm south of Greenfield, and then we will go to the Adair County Fairgrounds for lunch that will be provided (ham sandwiches, cheese sticks, apple slices, and a rice crispy treat). There are more activities after lunch. We will then ride the trolley back to Creston returning by 2:30 PM. There is no cost associated with this field trip. Please complete and return the permission slip back to school by next week.
