Dear Parents,

The third grade music program is tomorrow at 6:30 in the gym. Students need to be here by 6:15.  There is a dress rehearsal on Thursday, March 15th at 12:30.  You are welcome to come to the dress rehearsal if you would like.

Students will take their last PARCC test for this testing session tomorrow morning.  We are very proud of our students’ efforts.  In order to celebrate all of their hard work we are going to have a movie morning on Friday, March 20th.  Students are allowed to wear pajamas if they want to.

In math, we are finishing up with our fractions unit.  There is going to be a math test for this unit on Friday.  We will begin Unit 5: Write Equations to Solve Word Problems when we return from spring break.  Please remind your child to continue studying their basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts. All of these operations will be used in the next unit.

We will begin a unit on Informational Writing when we return from break.  Students will be selecting a topic they are interested in researching and following the writing process to publish an informational writing piece.  We plan to share our work with you during the Kohl Learning Fair on Thursday, April 23rd. 

We started our Economics unit in social studies this week and will continue this unit of study when we return from break.  Please ask your child about what they are learning.

Important Upcoming Dates
March 19th: Third Grade Music Program 6:30
March 21st-March 29th: Spring Break

Thanks again for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Ms. Galt
