Dear 3rd Grade Parents,
Some updates on the status of our projects and latest activities:
READING - BIOGRAPHY BOOK REPORT:
By now, the final written report (along with the daily class work such as notes, summary, reading log) have been submitted by most students. Others are still finishing up, and they have had plenty of time and guidance to complete all tasks related to this project in class. Final grade is assessed by completing deadlines, turning in all requirements, following directions, written, and oral reports.
Students are allowed to bring one index card to use when presenting their oral reports on Friday for their biography book parade. These index cards will introduce who they selected for their biography and what the historical figure did to make a significant impact to society. We will practice our speaking skills in class as well. The parade will consist of 3rd graders visiting classrooms to present their oral reports (2-3 minute maximum for each student) in front of other classes.
Remember that Friday is Biography Dress Up Day. Since we are going to Mass on Friday, please have your child wear his/her uniform and we will change into our costumes after Mass.
MATH GRADES:
The bulk of our 4th quarter Math grades reflected what we have learned in the last month and a half: Fractions (Equivalent Fractions, Ordering and Comparing Fractions, and Finding Parts of a Set). We have been working on these concepts daily in class.
ALEKS: For summer enrichment, ALEKS Math practice is available for students all year! It's a great way to keep the kids sharp and ready for 4th grade. Keep practicing QuickTables Math facts.
Notes/Reminder:
1. Tomorrow is our field trip to Ripley's Believe It or Not Wax Museum. Dress code is uniform. Bring a sack lunch. Hours are from 9 AM to noon. If you plan to drive, please meet us at the parking lot around 8:45 A.M.
