Hello Third grade families,
Happy Spring! The sun is shining and the students are ready for a break! I hope your first day of Spring has gone well. Here are some updates for our class: PTA Dance and Fundraiser: The PTA Dance and raffle will be on Saturday, April 6th from 4-6pm. There will be a DJ and light refreshments, as well as raffle prizes and the class basket silent auction. Admission is $2. Additional raffle tickets are $2. We need help for donations to our class basket! Our theme is "Weekend Getaway." Please bring in your item by Monday, April 1st. Intent to Return forms: These forms went home today with your child. Please make sure to sign the form and bring it back to the office! Core Knowledge: Our last day for the Thirteen colonies unit will be tomorrow. Students have their study guides to study tonight for the test tomorrow. Our next unit is Animal Classification and Endangered Species. Students will be creating a research project and presenting on April 19th at 2:45pm. Families are welcome to join us. Students will be creating Google Slides presentations with a partner. Research will be done at school and students are welcome to also work on their presentations at home. More information will go home after Spring break! Spring Break homework: There will be no extra spring break homework packet. I will be sending home your child's latest Math test, which will need to be corrected. I will attach "reteaches" for the missed problems which they will need to complete. Please look over your child's math test with them. If you child received below a 15/20, they may be falling behind, and could need extra help at home to catch up. Our Math class is the first one with a final test at the end of the year. I want to make sure every student can move on to Intermediate 5 next year, so if your child is falling behind, please work with them on the problems that they missed. The hardest part of the year for Saxon is over, and now we will go back and study those concepts again to solidify them. Spring Concert: The spring Music concert is on Thursday, April 11th. There is a matinee performance at 2:00pm. For the evening performance, students will need to arrive at 5:30 and will perform starting at 5:45pm. We look forward to seeing you there! Field Trip Photos: Photos from our latest field trip to the Dibble House in Molalla and the Aurora Colony museum are uploaded onto our class Google photo page. Students were able to make their own colonial toys, grind corn, churn butter, try out some needle-work, and much more! When we arrived back at school, we played colonial games. Our next field trip is to SCRAP on April 19th. Upcoming Events: Spring Vacation: March 25th-29th PTA Parent-Child Dance and Fundraiser: Saturday, April 6th Spring Music Concert (K-8): Thursday, April 11th Field Trip Friday: Friday, April 19th Endangered Animal Presentations: April 19th at 2:45pm Smarter Balance Testing: May 13th-23rd Field Trip Friday: May 17th Memorial Day (No School): May 27th 3rd grade Astronomy Camp-out: Saturday, June 1st Thanks, Miss Devlin
