Dear Amazing Parents,
We will have our last Georgia Milestones test on Monday for social studies. Please remember to have your child here on time, rested, fed and ready to do their best on their test :)
In reading we have finished Ramona Quimby Age 8 and the students completed cootie catchers/fortune tellers with questions and answers. They using these with each other to review the book. Another reading group is reading Old Yeller. They will complete this next week. Both groups will be taking summative assessments next week.
We reviewed social studies and science this week. We began to discuss magnets and will continue learning about magnets with our last Panther Pete Lab. Please sign up for this as soon as possible. One 3rd grade class was not able to do the science lab activity because they didn't have enough parent volunteers. Instead they had to watch the parents demonstrate the experiment...not exactly my idea of hands-on learning :( You don't know how much the students and teachers appreciate all your help with making the science labs run smoothly. I will send home a magnet study guide next week and we will have a test on Tuesday.
Our field trip is Friday, May 6th. Here are a few reminders:
Wear your red field day shirt
Bring a sack lunch (unless getting a sack lunch from the cafeteria)
Wear socks for the play area
Chaperones please bring coolers
If you have Ms. Lamaster for math: Because of testing, I won't meet with my group until Tuesday, but we will be on a normal schedule starting Tuesday. Students are working on games where they will incorporate everything they have learned throughout the year. They are creating questions and we will play these in the next few weeks in class. We have been reviewing all the skills we have learned from the year and I will be putting the best online resources on our math lessons (on my website) so they can get on and review them during their stations, and throughout the summer. We will also be working on solving and writing path problems after we read a book called Math Curse.
I love this book and so do the students. It is fun way for students to solve and create problems using skills they have learned throughout the year.
Enjoy your weekend,
Laura
