Hello third grade families,
We have lots of exciting activities in the next couple months! First of all, I wanted to thank everyone for making time for student-led conferences. I think it is a great time to check in on progress and make goals for the rest of the year! Valentine's Day: This year, Valentine's Day lands on a Friday! So we will celebrate on Thursday, February 13th. Please make sure if your child is bringing a valentine, that they have one for each student. Handmade cards/gifts are encouraged. Also, please no candy! We will plan to hand them out at the end of the day on Thursday. This is completely optional! Family Reading Night: On March 5th, we have Family Reading Night. This is a time for families to come together and celebrate the joy of reading! During the day, students can wear a costume/outfit of a favorite book character. That evening, each teacher will be reading a book and have a craft or activity to go along with it. There are two sessions. One at 6:30 and one at 7:00, so your child can pick two different sessions to attend with an adult accompanying them. We hope you can make it! Field Trip Chaperones: We have some great trips planned for the upcoming months. Unfortunately, we currently do not have enough chaperones to make the trips possible. If you or another family member is available to join us for a trip, please sign up! New Core Knowledge Unit: This month we are studying weather and climate. This is a new Science unit for third grade that was previously taught in fourth grade. If you or someone you know would like to come in as a guest speaker about weather, please let me know! Health: We will have Health once a week starting next week. We will be using The Great Body Shop curriculum that touches on the Oregon health standards. You can view the topics at this link: https://www.thegreatbodyshop.net/curriculum/k-six/topics and click on 3rd grade. We have already learned some of it during the Human Body unit earlier this year. If you have any questions, please let me know.
