Countdown

After today (Thursday), there are eleven days of school remaining. School is out for the summer on Friday, May 24th. This is a 3 hour early dismissal. Students will clean out desks and lockers on Thursday, May 23rd.

Math

The 3rd grade class is continuing to learn about fractions. Students have been identifying equivalent fractions. Students have used fraction tiles and a numberline as manipulatives.

Science

In small groups, students worked with STEM kits. The concepts covered included chain reactions, weight and gravity, area and perimeter, electric currents, momentum, and problem solving.

Reading/Language Arts

The third grade class is reading aloud Poppy by Avi. The class has gotten through chapters one through four. With each chapter, the class is working on summarizing and answer questions about the text.

Field Trip

The second/third grade field to the Science Center on Tuesday, May 14th. Please have students wear a STM shirt/sweatshirt. The bus will leave STM at 8:30 AM. Students will need to bring a sack lunch. Electronics will be allowed for this trip. They will be kept on the bus while at the Science Center. Students are allowed to bring money for the gift shop. Each student will be responsible for his/her  own money. I would suggest students putting money in a sealed section of their lunchbag. We will visit the gift shop before heading back to school. The bus will return to STM around 2:45 PM.

Biography Bash
