Please join us for our spring Open House on Thursday, April 18th from 6:30 - 8:00.  Third grade's Open House theme is Chicago, so come wearing your favorite Chicago team's apparel!  I look forward to seeing each of you! 

Jump Rope For Heart:  Students have the option to participate in "Jump Rope For Heart."  Collection envelopes are due on Friday, April 19th.  

Spring Conferences will take place this week!

There will not be school on Tuesday, April 9th and Friday, April 12th.  

The Thirteenth Week of 2013 at School:

Science: As we explore the planets in our solar system, students will be gathering information about each to display in a stand-up foldable project.  Information on our solar system is in chapter 10: lesson 3.  

Social Studies: Our class has been "hired" by a local travel agency in need of Chicago brochures. Each student will be designing a brochure which will attract visitors to Chicago. They are using their packets and books to choose topics to include in their brochure.  We will also continue reading in our Chicago book.  Look for a study guide to come home.  

Spelling: We will not have spelling due to the shortened week.  

Reading:  Students will continue reading non-fiction Chicago books.  

English: Students will finish typing their Cow O'Leary story.  

Math:  We will finish the study of fractions this week in chapter 18.  Look for a study guide to come home.  There will be a test in the week of April 15th.
