March 30 - April 3
Hello Parents and Students,
This will be my last week with you all, as I will be going on maternity leave following Spring Break. It has truly been an honor to teach your children, thank you for trusting me with them. I am so proud of this incredible group of 3rd graders, and I know they will finish the year strong. I look forward to seeing them in 4th grade next year when I return. My door is always open to them. Have a wonderful rest of third grade B6!
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Field Trip: This Wednesday, we are going on a field trip to the Camarillo Ranch House. We will be leaving school around 9 o'clock and returning to school by lunch time. Your child should eat a big breakfast that morning because we will not have recess time for a snack on the field trip.
Spring Break: There will be no school the week of April 6th-10th. School will resume on April 13th.
OUR WEEK AT A GLANCE
Math: We will continue Module 5 this week. This module focuses on fractions. Students will be working on lessons 11, 12, and 13. As a reminder, we will take our multiplication test on Friday. Please practice multiplication daily for 10 minutes. The goal going forward is to master all multiplication facts x0-x12.
Reader's Workshop: This week, we will be continuing with week 2 in our Unit 7 Benchmark books. Unit 7 is called Communities Then and Now. The essential question that students will be focusing on is: what is a community?
Writer's Workshop: This week, we will continue working on Opinion Writing. Students will be writing about whether they think teachers should give homework or not uring the OREO method.
P.E.: Please dress appropriately on Monday for P.E. every week.
