Important Dates:
Spring Open House and Book Fair Thursday 4/17
Classroom Chatter:
I apologize in the delay of Scholastic Book Orders. Those of you who ordered books, I submitted the order on Thursday 4/9. My apologies. I must have forgotten about the order, since I had them due that Friday before we had Spring Break. They should be in next week. Again, I appreciate your orders and apologize for the error.
Please come and join us Thursday from 6:30-8:00 pm for Spring Open House and Book Fair. Third grade's theme is Ancient Egypt. We look forward to showing off our hard work!
I'm excited to announce that our classroom received the school's first Mimio board. Has your child to you about it? This is a wonderful tool that uses technology to project the computer screen onto our whiteboard (which replaced our chalkboard). With the use of a special pen, students and teachers can move, highlight, write, and much more on the whiteboard.
Science
We will begin chapter 10 Space this week. In lesson one, we will learn what causes earth's seasons.

Reading
We are finished with biographies. Next week, students will be sharing them and have the option to dress up. We will decide on a schedule of presenting them this week. This week I want the students to share their games from last month's book report. Students will have an opportunity to plan them as well. Also, this week, we're beginning a poetry unit, since April is poetry month. Students will have a quiz on Friday on the 6 vocabulary terms. Those words will come home on Monday.
Math
We will finish up fractions this week. The test is scheduled for Wendnesday 4/22. The checkpoint will be Monday 4/20. We also will be taking a mad minute in division 9.
