March 2 is Read Across America Day and Dr. Seuss' birthday!

We will be doing some fun activities in class to celebrate this great man and to celebrate reading. If you have any Dr Seuss books you'd like to bring and share on Monday, it would be fabulous!

Also March 4 and 5 are Parent/ Teacher Conferences. Your child should have brought home a note with your time. I look forward to meeting with each of you and talking about your amazing kids! There will be no school on Friday March 6 because of the conferences!

February Big Ideas

Here are some of the exciting things happening this month:

Reading: We're reading stories focused on animal habitats! They give us lots of information and it's interesting to learn about the different types of habitats.

Math: We're finishing up graphing and working on measurement. See if you can find things around the house to measure. We're also still focusing on multiplication facts. Let me know if you need flashcards.

Social Studies: We'll be starting our Native American unit this month. There are 9 different groups we'll be studying with the other 3rd grade classes. Plan on lots of great activities and a fun project to wrap up the unit.

Spelling: Still practice your words every week. The first test scores for this term were amazing so keep up the great work!
