Week of December 17-21

A GREAT big thank you to the Mayor of Downers Grove for coming talk to the third grade. It was great to have Mayor Tully come speak with the students. Here is a picture of our class with the Mayor!!

There are lots of fun activities going on this week. Bowling is Monday morning. Please make sure your child brings a lunch from home on that day. Children typically end up eating a bunch of snacks at the bowling alley and then the food they order from our food service goes to waste because they either don't take a lunch or they throw it away.

Also, many children enjoy buying snacks at the bowling alley. This is optional and I suggest $5 as a good amount for food. I would not go any higher than $10.

Tuesday we are having our all school concert. 

Friday we will be leaving to go to the Tivoli and watch Polar Express!

 Thank you to the students who donated to the treasure chest this week! If you would like to donate to the treasure chest, that would be very helpful.

Math:

We have finished our time unit. Next week we will spend time reviewing all the concepts we have already learned. We will start our multiplication tests on Friday 12-21-12. The students will be tested on the squares…2x2, 3x3, 4x4…etc. Please be studying those at home.

Reading: 

Elfredo (our class Elf) has been traveling around the world to all different places and he is going to share some of that information with us! The students will spend next week learning about Christmas in other parts of the world, and how they celebrate. This will be done in a group setting and they will present their country to the class.

Spelling: 

We will be working on holiday words this week. The Pretest is on Monday and the final test will be on Friday. If your child gets 0,1, or 2 wrong on the pretest they will have 2 challenge activities and the cursive sheet, they have the option to take the test on Friday. If they get more than 2 words wrong, they will have the regular work. (Cursive sheet and two assigned activities) The homework is due on Thursday.

English:

We have finished our Nouns unit and will start verbs after break.
