Week of 5/6

Odds and Ends: 

MAY! What a year! We are nearing the end of 3rd grade which is so hard to believe!

UPCOMING EVENTS:

A LOOK AT NEXT WEEK: 

*Reading: We will continue to focus on point of view and context clues. We are finishing up The One and Only Ivan. We will also work on a persuasive writing paper. We are starting our Friendly Letter writing unit as well. 

*Spelling: A new word list will be sent home Monday. 3 activities and test will be due on Fri. 5/17. 

*Social Studies: Students are working in cooperative groups to "become the teachers" as they prepare presentations on the last sections of the Chicago book. A study guide was sent home today for our final Chicago Quiz on Fri. 5/10. If your child completes the study guide, they can use it for the quiz on Fri. 

* Mrs. Olsen's Math Class: We are spending time focusing on area and perimeter. It is so important to remember to add labels to our answers! We are working on finding the area to irregular shapes and how we can break the shape apart to smaller shapes, find their areas, and then add them back together to final the total area. We are focusing on using the formula length  x width = area. We will focus on 8's division this week with a test on Fri. The Unit 6 test is also on Friday. 

Have a great weekend and enjoy the sunshine ! (Finally!!)
