Reminder about our Service Project:
**Third Grade Service Learning Project: We have the opportunity to help some Refuges with school supplies. We are collecting: 1-1 1/2 inch binders, spiral notebooks, composition notebooks, fine tip Expo markers, pencils, lined paper, highlighters, personal pencil sharpeners, gently used books, glue sticks, and 1 centimeter graph paper. Anything will help! These are due December 16!
Remember the field trip is this Tuesday. Please have your child dress for the weather, keeping in mind that their backpack is their coatroom, lunch carrier and water bottle holder. The Children’s Theatre of Utah will be performing Aesop’s Fables, which will be perfect as these are a major part of our reading curriculum and will be a great introduction. We will then eat and have the opportunity to explore the State Capitol after we eat lunch. It should be a really fun day.
Monday: Library, Don’t forget your books!
Tuesday: Field Trip, Wear your Tie Dye Shirt with school approved pants! Don’t be late. We will be getting on the bus right at 8:30.
Wednesday: Book Orders Due
Thursday: STEM Class
Math:
Prodigy at least 3 times this week!
READING
Read 20 minutes each night and turn in Sort and Reading Log or the electronically http://qacblogs.org/nichol.lloyd/homework/reading/
Please continue to read every night for at least 20 minutes. We will be evaluating each student individually after Christmas to ensure that learning is happening and reading levels are raising. It’s OK for your child to spend some of their reading time silently, but they still need to do some reading out loud so you can talk about the story itself, how the author did things to make the story more interesting, how they create a setting and what words they chose to use and why.
SPELLING
Our class will be working on wh, ch, and sh words this week. Please print off this sort: Purple24 Sort and record your sorts on the Sort and Reading Log or electronically http://qacblogs.org/nichol.lloyd/homework/reading/ with your reading minutes.
