Sunday Greetings, Grade 3 Families,

It was nice to be able to meet with the remainder of Grade 3 parents for Parent/Teacher conferences this past Friday. Our time together discussing your third grader’s progress is so valuable and well-spent! Last week in Spelling, the third graders worked with consonant blends and digraphs and took a test on Friday. This coming week, they will work with the hard and soft sounds of c and g and take a test on Friday the 21st. The third graders began reading Native American folktales and will continue this week, which will include an introduction to the concept of cause and effect. In grammar last week, the third graders learned about plural and singular possessive nouns. This week, they will review these, as well as learn about plural possessive nouns toward the end of the week. They continue to learn cursive. In Math, the third graders have been practicing two-and-three-digit subtraction and will have a test on Thursday. Review will be provided this week. The third graders are practicing often for the Christmas pageant, so our science and social studies classes are less frequent at this time. This week in social studies, the third graders will learn about the presidential turkey pardon and in science, share Crazy Pet projects. They will also learn about The Good Samaritan.

· The weather is getting to be very chilly, and even cold! Please send your third grader to school with a jacket everyday.

· Our on-campus field trip with Eagle Bear will be on Monday afternoon. If you have not turned in your permission slip and payment, please do so tomorrow.

· Our field trip to the Museum of the Bible is on Tuesday. Students wear dress uniforms. Please pack a snack, disposable water bottle, and a lunch, all in the same container. The container does not have to be disposable. We will have a room at the museum to store our things. We will be back to school by dismissal. Looking forward to a fun day off campus and learning about our faith!

· Many thanks to the families who purchased books from Book Fair for our classrooms! Your generosity is appreciated very much.

· Please continue to send in macaroni and cheese boxes to support the Greg Cannon food drive.

Have a wonderful week! Saint Jane DeChantal, pray for us.

Mrs. Andrea Barish and Ms. Monique Cicerchia
