Week 4

It was great to see so many families at the Curriculum Conferences on Friday! I hope we were able to offer you insight to what the Third Grade experience will be like for our children. Many of you offered insight to your child that has been helpful. I know I can count on everyone to continue communicating and supporting each other as the year progresses. Many parents have asked if we needed anything in class. We currently would love to add more books about continents to our library. Please check out our Amazon wishlist on the right side of this post.

Here's what to expect next week:

• We have just begun our Social Studies work with a quick study of the Seven Continents. Students will use nonfiction texts to help learn about the seven continents. Children are reading books about individual continents and thinking about what the author is trying to teach us through the writing.  Children will write a about what they have learned and present it to others.
• The class will visit the school garden with our Garden Parent on Monday afternoon!
• Please continue to collect pictures to decorate your child's Writers Notebook. These picture will serve as inspiration for some of our writing projects this year! Parents are invited to join us after drop off (at around 8:35) on Friday, September 29th to help decorate the notebooks.

Have a wonderful weekend and a happy Rosh Hashanah!
