Odds and Ends:
* If you have any extra tissue boxes, please consider sending one in with your child. We are all out! Thanks!
*As many of you already know, we sadly had to cancel our upcoming field trip to the Chicago History Museum. We will keep you posted if we are able to reschedule at a later date. * IAR Testing:
We will have the following schedule for IAR testing. We will have our testing block from 10:15-11:45 am .
Tues. 3/24: Reading 1
Thurs. 3/26: Math 1
Tues. 4/7: Reading 2
Thurs. 4/9: Math 2
Tues. 4/14: Reading 3
Thurs. 4/16: Math 3
* Fri. 3/20: Prefix and Suffix Test
UPCOMING EVENTS:
Math: 10's division timed test
*Reading: We will work on reading non fiction text as we learn about Chicago. We will use the features we learned about to help answer comprehension questions. We are also working on finding evidence to help answer our questions. Students are expected to TQA (turn the question around) and use CS (complete sentences).
* Spelling: We will wrap up our unit on prefixes and suffixes this week. We will take a graded test on Friday. The packet is a great way to study for the test. We will not start a new list until after spring break.

* Social Studies: WOW! The students culture day presentations were incredible! We loved learning about each other and everyone was so informative and well done! This is one of the highlights of 3rd grade! Next, we will continue our study of Chicago.
*Science: We are continuing to study inheritance and traits. Ask your child about why some flamingos are pink and some are not. These science lessons tied in very well with their culture reports!
*Mrs.Olsen's Math Class: We will begin unit 6: geometry. We will work on 10's division facts with a test on Fri. 3/20. Looking ahead, we will do 5, 11, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, and finish with 12's.
Happy St. Patty's Day! It's my very own leprechaun's 6th birthday, my son Declan, on St. Patrick's day so we have a lot of celebrating to do!
Best,
Mrs. Olsen
