Third grade immigration day:
Third grade parents mark your calendars for March 13th! Your child will be participating in an Ellis Island Immigration simulation on that day with the other third graders. This day will be part of a larger study in our classrooms on historical fiction, the power of story and history. We need some third grade parent volunteers for that day for the quarantine station! Please let us know if you'd like to help out.
It would be helpful at home to start talking about any immigration stories that you might have in your family. Where are your ancestors from? What are their stories? We will start sharing soon!
Learning Showcase:We are inviting parents in for a learning showcase on Friday, February 21st from 8:45 to 9:30. Feel free to drop in any time during that time and your child will be individually showing you some things that he or she is working on. It shouldn't take more than 15 minutes or so- if you're able to drop in we'd love to see you!
Valentine's Day:
Students are welcome to bring in Valentines on February 14th for a Valentines exchange. We just ask that if students are bringing them in that they bring one for everyone!
Mount Major Field Trip:
It's officially happening! We are so excited to climb Mount Major with our classes. As many parents that would like to will be able to join us! We will give more details as it gets closer but wanted to give you these dates: May 29th will be the scheduled day and June 3 will be the rain date.
Here are some questions to ask your child:
- How are you making your nonfiction writing engaging for the reader?
- What techniques have you used?
- What do you think about the read aloud- Front Desk by Kelly Yang?
- What have you discussed during read aloud time?
- What are some of the conversations you've had around prejudice and stereotypes?
- How are your math facts going?
- What kinds of choices have you made in math?
- How have your math choices led you to your learning goals in math?
Have a wonderful weekend!
