With 2 snow days this week which followed over a week of vacation, everyone may feel a bit rusty with math and reading skills. Please spend some time on IXL practicing math and reading skills. For math, please focus on multiplication: skill builder (f) and frequency (g). For Language Arts, please focus on verbs. In addition don't forget to read for, at least, 1/2 hour each day. We will be starting the "Tower Book Challenge" in the next few weeks! Finally, as you know, the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade will be participating in the National Spelling Bee this year. This is an optional event for the children. It would be a great idea to spend some time practicing the spelling words on the list sent home on Wednesday.

This week we visited Caratunk Wildlife Refuge in Seekonk. The children learned about finding the basic necessities in our natural environment. We learned about how Native Americans made clothing, found and grew food, and protected themselves from the elements by making shelters such as Wigwams and Longhouses.

Welcome to 3rd grade. I can't wait to meet you all next Wednesday as we start the school year with many fun, challenging, and innovative activities! Please take a few minutes and explore our website. Some of the pages you will want to visit daily will be the homework and spelling pages. I also have set up a page for Latin and Greek roots and have other pages that give you more general information. I'm looking forward to a fantastic school year.

The 3rd grade enjoyed a fantastic field trip to see the RI Philharmonic at Veterans Memorial Auditorium today. They have been practicing the music for the last two months so they were able to play their recorders and sing along with the Orchestra for many of the songs.
