Dear families,
We had a great week of learning in third grade! The students have shown so much growth in their literacy abilities! They wrote wonderful fictional stories and on Thursday they rocked their mid-nine weeks’ reading test!
On Thursday a permission slip came home for our field trip to the Virginia Living Museum in Newport News, VA on Wednesday, April 1. We will be leaving Trevvett at 7:45 am and returning at 4 pm. We are travelling by charter bus using James River Transportation. The cost of this trip is $44 dollars due to having to hire the charter buses. We are excited to provide the third graders this opportunity to see Virginia’s natural diversity in person!
Next week in reading we will complete a unit on fiction where we have been reviewing narrative elements, making predictions, and analyzing characters. In writing we will review synonyms, antonyms, and homophones. We will read and write functional text and practice writing to persuade. In math we will continue our unit on fractions focusing on number lines, mixed numbers, and comparing fractions. The students will have a third quarter math test on Thursday, March 12. Please look for your child’s math notebook to help them prepare for this test at home by studying their study guides. The test is cumulative so anything that we have learned this year could be on the test. In science we will finish our unit on Earth’s cycles by learning about tides. In social studies we will begin a unit of study learning about the Kingdom of Mali.
The Book Fair is here! Students can shop from 7:20-7:45 am every morning. On Thursday the book fair will be open during our second grader’s PTO performance. Come to the book fair to support Trevvett!
