What are we studying?

  • Homework: Week of May 20th - Our Student Led Conferences will be May 22nd at 8:30 am. Please let me know if an adult cannot be here for your child so I can make sure to have another adult from our building available. We will decorate our BLUE shirts on Friday for Third Grade Field Games on Tuesday (last day of school). Look for ice cream permission slip in Tuesday folders.
  • Writing- We are busy choosing pieces for our showcase portfolios and reflecting on our growth in third grade.
  • Reading - Mrs. Forseth is giving us free time to do extended reading into one of the genres we have studied in depth this year.
  • MATH- We've mastered Third Grade content, so Mrs. Forseth is giving us a peek into what we will learn next year in fourth grade!

Six Powerful Words

Last week we studied how just six powerful words have been used by past presidents to inspire a nation. Today we heard a new six word phrase from our 44th President, Barack Obama. Compare the two six word phrases below. What are these presidents trying to inspire us to do? Are they similar? Different? I can't wait to hear what you think! Mrs. F.

"Nothing to fear but fear itself." -Franklin Roosevelt, 1933

"We have chosen hope over fear." - Barack Obama, 2009
