Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your 3rd Graders life!

Eclipse
We are so excited about the opportunity to share the eclipse with our class. The sun is part of our Science Core and we have purchased glasses for each of the 3rd graders at Quest. We have already stated learning about how the eclipse will take place and we will be talking about the proper way to watch the eclipse. We will be outside on Monday for quite a while, so we can watch the different phases of the eclipse.
Bloomz
If you have not connected with us on Bloomz, please take the opportunity to do so. Each family received the instructions of how to do this on a purple paper last week. If you have misplaced this paper, just follow the steps below:
1. Download the “Bloomz” app from the AppStore/PlayStore and click “Create Account”. If browser, go to bloomz.com and click on “Join Bloomz”
2. In the text box, enter EHTCX7
3. Create your account
Math
Each student in our class has learned a magic trick that is a part of our math. In order to practice this amazing trick at home, they will need a standard deck of cards, with all face cards and 10’s removed. You may also use Uno cards, Krypto cards, Skipbo etc, as long as they have 4 of each number 1 – 9. They are so excited to practice, and eventually share their magic trick with you.
Reading
We are starting our first reading unit this week and working with Character Traits and how authors develop characters. We will have many opportunities to describe various characters and write about them.
Homework
Please have your child read 20 minutes each night. We will discussing the characters they’re reading about, as well as the ones from the various books we read in school.
Magic is also a part of their homework. If they practice this game each night, they will be prepared for our assessment on Friday.
Thanks for supporting us, and remember, work hard, be kind
