Dear families,
A huge thank you to those of you who took the time to come and hear about your child’s progress so far this year in third grade! I can’t do my job of teaching your child without your support and having an opportunity to speak with you in person shows your child that we are on the same team!

Next week in Reading we will be learning about problem and solution in fictional text. We will continue to learn about prefixes and suffixes and how that they change the base word that they are added to. The students will have a power test in Reading on Friday, November 16. In Writing we will write narrative stories with sequencing words, in Math we will continue our unit on multiplication and in Social Studies we will finish our unit on ancient Egypt and China with a test on these civilizations on Friday, November 16.
There are lots of special events this coming week. All week long we will be collecting canned food for the Henrico Christmas Mother. On Monday, November 12 students who received a permission slip and returned it by Monday will go to the Henrico Theatre to see a Junie B. Jones play. Chaperones are encouraged however you must have a volunteer form on file. Buses will board at 9:15 so please plan to be at Trevvett no later than 9:05 am if you would like to chaperone this trip. Students cannot attend the trip without a signed permission slip! If you have not signed your child’s permission slip make sure it is signed and returned in their folder on Monday! Thank you.
