Week of October 10-13

We are halfway through the 1st trimester of third grade! Hopefully, grades are being monitored on line.  If you are having problems doing so, please call the office. Have a wonderful Columbus Day weekend! I’m hoping the weather will cooperate!

Coming Up Next Week:

Spelling:  We are working on 3 activities in class to help practice our spelling. You can also be practicing at home for our test which will be Friday.

Reading & Language Arts:  This week, we’ll be working on using better descriptive language when writing, character traits, theme, and cause and effect.  These are all very important reading and writing skills.  

Please make sure your child is reading! October logs are due by October 31st.

Social Science:  We will be continuing our unit on Downers Grove history this week! This unit leads to a really fun field trip visiting historical places all around our town.  

Mrs. Mandru's Math Class:  We have begun digging into multiplication. We have worked on repeated addition and arrays. A checkpoint will be on Thursday. NOTE: We will send home worksheets for homework, but they are just for extra practice. They do not need to be turned back in unless you want to.

Important Dates:  
10/9 - Columbus Day
Week of 10/23 - Homeroom Conferences
10/27 - Day off (Conferences)
10/30 - Teachers’ Institute (Day off for students)
10/31 - Halloween party and parade

Have a great 3-day weekend!!
