Greetings Third Grade Community Family!
Third grade is happy to catch you up with the latest things shaking in our classrooms beginning with our exciting earthquake drill yesterday. We're pleased to report that all were accounted for and nobody was injured. In fact we got a lot of extra reading time in. That serves as a great reminder for us all to take every opportunity to read whenever time avails. Reading is the most essential skill needed to be a successful student.
In Language Arts we are involved in reading great books like The Cricket in Times Square in rooms 17 and 18 and The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane in room 20. These books give us the opportunity to learn about "theme" and "author's purpose" as well as building our vocabulary and learning to cite evidence to support our conclusions as we read.
Ahh, yes! Math...This is our year to master the multiplication tables. Please work with your students daily to have them become MASTERS OF MULTIPLICATION! Remember the quote from Star Trek: "Resistance is futile."
Next week we have a visit from the Aspen String Trio on Wednesday and the Kite Master on Thursday. We hope the trees on the upper yard won't be too hungry for kites this year.
Thanks to all the birthday celebrants who have thoughtfully brought healthy treats for their classmates to enjoy.
Tune in next week same Third Grade time, same Third Grade blog for more up to the minute info on rooms 17, 18, and 20! Carol, Toby, and Bob
