Week of 12/10

Dear families,
We have had an exciting week in third grade learning about measurement and reading lots of funny poems! Ask your child which poem they like better, “Sick” or “Help” and why!
Next week in Reading we will continue to learn about main idea and supporting details, focusing on nonfiction. In Writing we will look for ways to edit and revise our writing to make it more interesting for the reader. In math we will practice measuring for volume in the customary and metric systems. We will also begin to measure area and perimeter. In Science we will complete our unit on interdependency and conservation. In Social Studies we will begin to learn about the contributions of ancient Greece and Rome.
Thank you for all of the interest in supporting our three day week of seasonal, fun, learning activities from December 17 to December 19! If you signed up to volunteer through the PTO an email from Mrs. Cronin has already been sent out. The class will also need additional donations of materials to make STEAM projects during the week. Please look for a sign up sheet coming home early next week in your student’s folder.
