Dear Parents,

Today in your child’s Friday folder you will find a permission slip for a field trip that will happen soon after winter break. Our third graders were invited to see, “Singing in the Rain”, by Backstory Theater company at the Broomfield Auditorium. The performance is free, but we are asking for $3 to help cover the cost of the bus in case the weather is bad. If we get good weather, we will walk and you will get your money back. We would love to be able to have all permission slips and money back by next Friday, so that we don’t have to worry about it when we return from break. Thanks for your help with this.

This was another busy week in third grade. We would like to congratulate our Spelling Bee participants, Annie Egy and Kylar Jaramillo. They both did a fantastic job, and we are very proud of them.

We will be finishing up our math unit on Measurement, Time and Graphing next week. I am planning on having the Unit 3 assessment on Thursday. When we return from break we will start Unit 4, Addition and Subtraction of Multidigit Numbers.

In literacy, we are working on reading and writing informational texts. So far, we have read and written about the job of a paleontologist and we are working on learning about winter life in Alaska. After break, we will start working on how to research a favorite topic and write an informational text about that topic.

Don’t forget, our winter class party is Friday MORNING from 9-10. The All-School Sing-along will be from 8:15-9:00.

Have a great weekend.

Sincerely,
Aisha Galt
