Dear families,
We had such a fun learning experience at the Science Museum this week! The students loved exploring, learning about simple machines, and watching the IMAX film “Amazon Adventure.”

I was absent from school today, Friday November 30! Students weekly papers and communicator will be in their folder on Monday, as well as their weekly Reading and Math homework. Please remember to return your child’s report card for my documentation, if you have not done so already! In addition to the students nightly written Reading or Math homework, please make sure you are helping them to remember to read for 20 minutes each night and write it in their agendas. In addition the students are assigned test preparation and have appropriate notebooks when necessary. This week the students will not be taking a weekly powertest assessment. Instead on Friday they will take the mid year NWEA Reading test. On Wednesday, December 5 the students will have a quiz in Science on interdependency and conservation. They will have their Science notebooks on Monday and Tuesday to study their study guide.
Next week in Reading we will continue to focus on main idea and details in fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. The children are becoming very good at telling the difference between a topic and a theme. At home please encourage them to ask questions as they read and think about what main ideas. In Writing we will continue to work on incorporating adjectives, homophones, and commas to give good supporting details. In Math we will begin a unit on measurement. Third graders should be able to estimate and use appropriate units to measure length and volume. Have fun at home with your child practicing measuring and guessing how much a container could hold, or how long an object could be! In Science we will complete our unit of study on natural events and human influences on organisms in an environment.
Our fantastic PTO is sponsoring a holiday waffle supper Wednesday, December 5 at 6 pm! It is only five dollars a person and pictures with Santa will be available. Mark your calendars for a worry free dinner that suppports Trevvett!
