Reminders for the Week
It's almost the end of the school year.
Drama Class Performance
Grades 3 - 5 have been hard at work, writing their own scripts. They have asked me to invite you to their final class performances. Please note, Drama class performances are not a typical performance, as it is a part of their classwork. They are very proud of their work, as am I. Please find the schedule below:
READING
WRITING
With this being our last full week of school, Third Grade writers will look back at where they started as writers, reviewing what they have covered this year. They will have the opportunity to choose a piece of writing to develop even more.
MATH
In our final full week of school, the third grade mathematicians will review concepts learned and strategies practiced throughout the school year. Third grade mathematicians will spend some time in class exploring websites such as Mathletics, Khan Academy, and Greg Tang Math, which are all resources they can continue to use over the summer to gain practice of their math skills. Students will also receive feedback on their module 7 end of unit assessment and can use this feedback to develop meaningful goals they can work towards over the summer and at the start of the next school year.
SCIENCE
As we start our last week of Science, students are bringing together their data, answering their guiding question and creating a presentation to share with the class. The group will present their findings to the class with a short presentation that includes relevant pictures, graphs, tables and diagrams.
If they haven't been able to answer their question they will look at why and what they could do differently. What do they need to change; their question? method of recording data? etc.
Through their investigation they will have a deeper understanding of our essential question: How do plants and animals interact with and within their environment?

READING
With summer break around the corner, our “Following Characters into Series” unit concludes this week. The third grade readers will take the time to reflect on the lessons learned from, and with the characters they have been reading about. They will make connections, draw conclusions and will ask themselves, ‘What is the big lesson I am learning here?’
At the same time, they will have the opportunity to look back, in retrospective, at their progress throughout this school year. They will reflect on their growth and share with each other their best experiences as readers in the third grade.
WRITING
With this being our last full week of school, Third Grade writers will look back at where they started as writers, reviewing what they have covered this year. They will have the opportunity to choose a piece of writing to develop even more.
