Dear Parents,
What an exciting day we had last Friday as we celebrated being the #1 Magnet School in the nation. After an energized pep rally, students went back to our third grade hallway to paint ceiling tiles that will be displayed around our school. They had a blast and were very creative in their art work. Here is an update for the week ahead:
READING - This week we will continue to review reading strategies such as main idea, context clues, character traits, text structure, and inferring through engaging activities. Students should continue reading fiction, nonfiction, and poetry at home for 30 minutes each night, using reading strategies listed on the reading logs to comprehend text.
WRITING - I assigned each student in the class a current event, and he/she will be responsible for writing an informational report on this event. Last week, students read their articles and placed the important points (who, where, when, what, why) into a graphic organizer. They will use the graphic organizer to write the report in a manner that can be clearly understood by the reader.
SOCIAL STUDIES - Students are enjoying learning about national government versus local government with Mr. Otto.
MATH - On Monday and Tuesday of this week we will create and interpret data on line plots. On Wednesday, we will have an assessment on the measurement unit including grams, liters, inches, and line plots. The remaining days up until EOG's will be spent on reviewing math concepts learned this year.

Ms. Underwood
