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!

HW for the Week of August 29th!

We need to read 20 min. every day. We also have to work on 1 reading response throughout the week. our reading response this week asks us to make connections to what we have read. We know how to do this, and we can even decide if our connection is worth $0.01 or $100.00! We are going to learn about matter in science this week. Ask us about matter. We also have a math Mad Minutes test on Friday. Our math problem of the week is about finding the perimeter of a rectangle. It is due Friday, too. All of this should be in our planners.
