The next chapter the third grade class will cover is interpreting and analyzing data. Students will read and make a variety of graphs.

Reading/Language Arts

Module 6 will focus on animal behaviors. This week the class read another narrative nonfiction story called This is Your Life" by Heather Lynn Miller. This story also contained some fantasy.

The vocabulary skill covered the prefixes of uni-, bi-, and tri-.

Students will be having a test over how living things are able to survive in their environments next week.

St. Malachy Foundation Gala

The St. Malachy Foundation committee have decided to bring back the class baskets to the auction.  The theme of this year's Gala is "We Are God...We Are Community." This year the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grader classes are combining to put together "I Rather Be Reading" basket. The plan is to focus on the new bookstore in town. Items that could be included are bookmarks, reading light, blanket, candle, snacks, a gift card, etc. Our grade band is seeking donations to purchase items for the basket. Donations are due to school by Friday, February 23rd. There is a note in the take home folder pertaining to this.

Also, please remember monetary donations are also needed to help with the silent auction as well. A note from Casie Klejch was sent home last week about monetary donations for this.
