Remember that on Monday, January 16th there will not be school due to Martin Luther King's birthday.  Please plan accordingly.  

Spelling Bee:  We will have a Spelling Bee in our classroom on Wednesday, January 18th.  This year students will not be given a list to practice from.  They will use their prior knowledge to spell words. The winner and runner-up will compete against the winners in the other third grade classrooms on January 26th.

Science: We will continue the study of matter in chapter 11, lesson 2.  We will discuss states of matter.

Math:  We will continue unit 4, module 2 on subtraction strategies.  Then we will begin unit 4, module 3 on measurement. Students will have a divide by 4 timed test on Thursday, January 19th.  They will have two minutes to complete 26 problems.   

Spelling:  Students will receive a new spelling list and should complete three activities using the spelling menu.  The test will be on Friday, January 27th.  The activities will also be due on Friday, January 27th.  

ELA: We will continue our unit on traditions.  Next week, students will continue taking notes for an expository writing piece on a country where their family/ancestors have immigrated from. Next, students will begin typing their facts.
