Math

The class will have a test over fractions on Friday, February 21st.

Science

In our weather unit, the third grade class is learning about severe weather. A meteorologist from Channel 5 is coming to visit the third grade classroom on Monday to share his knowledge of weather with the students. Once we finish this lesson, students will be writing an informational piece on weather.

Reading/ Language Arts

On Wednesday, the class started the next lesson. We are reading the narrative nonfiction Octopus Escapes Again! This is a narrative nonfiction selection how the different adaptations that the octopus uses to avoid being eaten by predators.

Late Slips

With the start of the 3rd trimester on Monday, February 24th, the third grade students start late slips. Late slips are given when a student does not turn in a homework assignment. This is a policy that is followed in fourth-eighth grade at STM. We start in the third trimester of third grade to get the students ready for the responsibilities that come with these upper grades.

There is a note in the take home folder that gives all the details on how late slips work. I have talked about the policy with the class. It's inevitable that there will be late slips given out.
