March

Remember to set your clocks ahead one hour!

Conferences are coming up! We look forward to meeting with you and your child on Wednesday or Thursday, March 16th and 17th. Conference times were sent home in last week's Wednesday folders.

Mrs. Rauch/Buckner's Class

Mrs. Long's Class

Ms. Moran's Class

Reading: Students recently read, compared and contrasted two historical novels. (Standard RL3.9)

It's 1885, and New York City is alive with excitement: the Statue of Liberty is arriving from France! Lily decides to make and sell Lady Liberty crowns in order to raise money to pay for the pedestal for Miss Liberty.

The whole city of New York is blanketed by snow (The Great Blizzard of 1888). But it's the final day of the spelling bee, and snow or no snow, Anna has to get to school. It's not as easy as she expected!

              

         Third graders especially enjoyed making the "Liberty Crowns" from the novel, Lily and Miss Liberty.

Math: Identifying Fractions!

(Standards NF.1, NF.2, NF.3)

NF. 2: I can understand and identify fractions on a number line.

NF.1: I can explain fractions as a part of a whole.

NF.3: I can identify equivalent fractions on a number line.

Writing

Write to Explain: Introduce topic, use facts and definitions to develop points, use linking words and phrases, and provide a concluding statement. (Standard W 3.2)

Students wrote two informational essays. The first essay detailed the three states of matter, and the second essay featured dental health. Students watched a video, read two articles, took notes, and used the information in their essays. During conferences, students will share their final drafts with you!
