Tomorrow will be hat day for third grade! We will also be celebrating two birthdays with a pizza lunch. Please send in a drink (water, juice) with your child.

Writing: We are finishing up informational writing pieces. The students chose a topic they know a lot about and learned how to organize their information in a way that their reader will understand.

Word Work: We have been using some new word cards this week. Please practice these words at home:  thought, heard, half, group, great, enough, brought, asked

Social Studies: Our class is beginning a new social studies unit in which we will be learning about Michigan history and how we learn about the past.

Math: We continue to work in math groups. We have been working on telling time before and after the hour as well as adding and subtracting time. Please work on telling time with your child at home. This is an important skill, but is often a struggle for many third graders. Continued practice is helpful! Thank you.

Reading: We are digging into non-fiction text and learning how to paraphrase and find the main idea and details of a text.
