The third grade went to the theater today for the first time to begin the stage practice of our America program. You are going to LOVE it! It was a very tiring but productive practice today. We are very proud of how much they have learned and how much energy and enthusiasm each child is bringing to the stage. Please make sure that your child continues to review his/her lines each night. We will have practice on Monday and Tuesday only with a day of break for parent conferences before we perform for the school on Thursday and then for you on Friday. Please make sure that your child comes with the costume on Monday in a bag with their name on it. That way if any changes or additions need to be made, we have a few days to do so.
We have begun our study of Geometry in Math. The children are bringing home a very important parent letter today sharing some of the terminology that they will be responsible for throughout the unit.
We did not get a chance to begin our drawing of the route of the race in our novel, Stone Fox. I am going to send home a piece of drawing paper and a list of details that needs to be included in the drawing. The children are to work on a rough draft of this race over the weekend and then on Monday we will produce the final drawing.
We will continue our study of the various Native Americans that crossed the United States. Next week we will focus on the Anasazi and the Northwest Coast.
Due to the program practice and production and the shortened week for parent conferences, we will not have spelling words nor will we have our Daily Oral Language activities. But do not fret, we have plenty to learn and accomplish.
I look forward to meeting with each of you next Wednesday. If you see a problem with your time or you may not be able to attend now that the time is approaching, please let me know and we can alternative arrangements.
Have a great weekend!
