Week of January 19-22



We are finished with our second round of MAP testing.  We’ll test one more time in the spring.  

We celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday on Monday.  We talked about this great, peaceful man today.  Enjoy your 3-day weekend in his honor!
Coming up next week:
Spelling:   Students will receive a new list of words on Tuesday. The three activities are die on Friday. The test will be the following week.

Reading & Language Arts:  We’re continuing our culture and traditions unit.  We’re finishing up The Keeping Quilt. by Patricia Polacco and introducing  When Lightning Comes in a Jar, also by Polacco.  

Students should continue working on Menus. They will be due on January 29th.


Tuesday will be our practice spelling bee and Wednesday we’ll compete for a winner and a runner up who will then compete with the other 3rd grade winners.  There is no studying involved with this Bee!!   We truly want our Bee to reflect what our students already know.

Social Studies:  We are on hiatus!!


Science:   We’re continuing the study of matter.  We will begin lesson 2 this week.  If your child still owes $7.50 for the in-school field trip, please send it in as soon as possible.


Mrs. Mandru's Math Class:  We’re continuing Unit 4, focusing this week on fractions and measurement.
