The students continue to learn about the weather. The third grade students will be writing an informational paper on a type of weather.

Reading/Language Arts

This week the class is reading a biography called One Plastic Bag-Isatou Ceesay and the Recycling Women of the Gambia by Miranda Paul. The reader learns how one African woman started a recycling movement to combat the pollution caused by plastic bags in her community. Students worked on making inferences and text structure as the comprehension strategy. The decoding skill covered irregular plural nouns. The vocabulary skill focused on the suffixes of -ness and -able. 

The weekly assessments and spelling post test will be taken on Monday, March 4th.

Reading Incentive Program

February calendars are due back to school by Monday, March 4th. March calendars have been included in the take home folder. March is the last month of the reading incentive program.

National Reading Month

From the note sent home last week, you can see the many fun and educational activities planned for the month of March to celebrate National Reading month.

A reading bingo form is being sent home with each student. Each time your child completes one of the activities, please X it off and date the square. Once your child has completed ALL of the squares, please have him/her return the bingo card back to school to receive a prize.  Bingo cards must be returned back to school by the end of the month of March.
