Odds and Ends
*Conferences: It was so great to meet and talk with so many parents for conferences. I enjoyed discussing your child's progress in 3rd grade. If you have any more questions or comments, please feel free to email (eolsen@ccsd66.org) or call (630-783-5090) as always!
*Scholastic Book orders are due Friday 3/20. Thank you for ordering!
*GOING GREEN: We will begin our school wide plan to recycle plastic and aluminum next week on Tuesday. This was an idea that started in our classroom by the students.

Mrs. Olsen's Science and Social Studies:
*Science: We are still busy working on ch. 10: Space. We are learning about the planets. Ask your child about "My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nachos!"
*Social Studies: The students are learning about Egypt and mummies. Egypt Unwrapped is on Thursday and will be a great extension to what we have been doing in class.
Mrs. Olsen's Math Class:
*Math: We are going to start chapter 14, focusing on lines, angles, and plane figures. This is a quick chapter, so the test is scheduled for Tues. 2/24. We will also take the 2 division test on Monday and begin 3's division with the test on Friday.
Enjoy the long weekend!
