Mrs. Burland's Bulletin
March 2nd through March 6th

On Friday, March 27, the third grade will be visiting the Chicago History Museum in Chicago. The students will be able to visit all the exhibits at the Museum! The field trip will give us the opportunity to visit our beautiful city of Chicago, which is the focus of our upcoming social science unit. I will send home the permission slip on Monday. 

The Upcoming Week at School:

Reading: This week students will finish their country chapter books. They are  due on Friday, March 6th. We will also study prefixes and suffixes. Students should turn in their February reading logs on Monday, March 2nd, if they have not already done so. They will receive a March reading log. 

Culture Week: Please make sure to look at the letter that was sent home about Culture Week! In a nutshell, this is what is expected from each student:

1. Pick any 3 chapters and practice reading them. Students will read these to the class.

2. Make something that shows your connection to the country (slide, poster, index card, video).

3. Bring in 2 items that represent your country (ie: music, food, instrument, pictures, book, souvenirs, flag photo, etc.)

I look forward to hearing each student present on their assigned date (3/9, 3/10, 3/11, or 3/12). Students will receive a paper copy of their research paper on Friday, March 6th, when the paper is due that they can use to help practice. For the time being, they can practice reading their paper from their Chromebook. 

Spelling:  Students will receive a spelling list and should complete three activities using the spelling menu.  The test will be on Friday, March 13th.  The activities will also be due on Friday, March 13th.  

Math:  We will study area and perimeter on complex shapes.  This week we will finish the study of unit 5 on Geometry and Measurement. Look for a study guide to come home on Monday. The study guide is due on Monday, March 9th. There will be a unit 5 test on Tuesday, March 10th. We will have a divide by 10 timed test on Thursday, March 5th.  They will have two minutes to complete 26 problems.  

Social Science: We will continue our science unit on inheritance and traits. Did your child tell you about the offspring they created?
