Week of 5/27

Dear families,
Hooray for our classroom! Standardized testing is over except for isolated students who have the opportunity to retake. Thank you for your support throughout this stressful process! The students did an amazing job and I am proud of every single one of them. They have learned so much this year! Your child’s SOL scores will come home on June 14 with their fourth nine weeks’ report cards.
Even though testing has concluded, instruction will continue. In Reading we will be reviewing realistic fiction and main idea and supporting details. In Math we will continue to practice problem solving in word problems. In Social Studies we will compare national holidays like Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Veteran’s Day. In Writing we will describe the things that we have done well in third grade.
Lots of special events in the week to come! Tuesday is our third grade performance at 6 pm. Please send your child to the library at 5:45 in jeans and a solid, bright colored T-shirt for a brief practice. Following the performance will be our Family Fitness night. Bring the whole family for a night of entertainment and fun! Friday, May 31 is Field Day! The students will be outside for the majority of the day! Please have them dress in closed toes shoes like athletic shoes, and light comfortable clothes. There will be water stations around the activities. I would love it if the children could bring a reusable water bottle to cut down on the amount of waste we produce.
