Saturday, December 21st-January 6th-Winter Break

Tuesday, January 7th-First day back after Winter Break

Dear Parents,

We had another good week in third grade.  There is definitely a building holiday energy in the air!

The Kohl Spelling Bee is on December, 19th from 10:00 to 11:00.  Eli Hedberg and Elena Miesel
will represent our third grade class in the spelling bee.  

Literacy:
This week we completed author study with Janell Cannon. Next week, we will begin an interactive read

aloud unit focusing on Humorous Texts.  During our writing block, students read a realistic fiction narrative
about a young bird that gets trapped in a storm drain.  Students worked on drafting a narrative that tells the
story of what happens to the bird after it flies out of the storm drain. 
Ask them about their story if you have time.

Math:

We will finish our math unit on Measurement, Time and Graphing early next week. Our unit test will be
on Thursday, December 19th.  After break, we will start Unit 4, Addition and Subtraction of
Multi-digit Numbers. Please continue to practice multiplication and division facts 1-10 nightly. 
Students should also be building fluency with addition and subtraction facts through 20. We
continuously hear from fourth grade teachers about the importance of memorized math facts. 

Science.  

We started our Metric Measurement and Matter unit. We are learning about the metric system of
measurement. This week we meter tapes to measure distance. Next week, we will use balance
scales to measure mass in grams and syringes and graduated cylinders to measure
liquid volume in milliliters. 

Have a fantastic weekend.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Aisha Galt
