Third Grade Parents are the best!!!  Thank you to our parents that helped with their time and creativity.  Our Not-So-Spooky Trail was decorated with a "Game Board" theme this year.  Ours was Monopoly!  Wow-what a terrific job they did!  Also, thank you to our parents that volunteered and came to support our Spooktacular this year.  The Spooktacular is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year.  It was fun seeing so many of you enjoying the fun!

PHEOC

Third grade scientists conducted experiments using the PHEOC Process and Scientific Method.  We collected data throughout the week comparing the water weight in peeled, unpeeled, and chopped apples.  This data was then graphed and scientists checked to see if their predictions were  correct.

Moon Calendar

This week, the 3rd grade students will be blasting off to learn about space! This is a very exciting and fun unit in Science. Your child will learn about the moon phases, that the sun is a star and study a planet of his/her choice.

Look for your child's moon phase calendar that was sent home either today or Monday. This will be an at home project in which your child will observe the moon each night and write about how the shape (shadow) of the moon changes over time.

M&M's and Skittle Graphing

Thanks for your M & M and Skittle donations. Third Grade has been exploring different types of graphing: pictographs, double bar graph, line plots...and eating their data!

Art Smock

Please make sure to have your child bring in an art smock and label it in a Zip Lock bag. It can simply be an old t-shirt and does not have to be anything fancy. They will stay in the bins above the coat hooks along with your child's tennis shoes. Please also remind your child to have gym shoes on P.E. days. Each child should have a pair of gym shoes & socks here if they do not typically wear them on a daily basis. Thanks!

Dear family,

Pictures will go home today. If you would like your child to take a retake, that will be on Thursday, Oct. 19th.

Graphing Fun!

Students will begin our graphing unit in math.  We have fun activities planned and need your help.  By Monday, October 9th,  please have your child bring:                                

• 1 reg. size bag of M & M's 
• 1 reg. size bag of Skittles

Please let your child's teacher know if you are unable to provide these items.  We are happy to help.

Social Studies Study Guides

On Tuesday, your child will receive two study guides for the Social Studies assessment and the mental map assessment. There will be dates marked on the study guides and the assessments will not be given until the week of Oct. 9th. Please look for that information in your child's folder along with the mental map pretest. The goal is that your child will show growth from the pretest. As a third grade team, we try to give assessments on the same day, but sometimes we are at different spots in our teaching and class progress. After receiving the study guides, please let us know if you have questions.

Lunch Change for Wed.

Sysco just informed me that the drumsticks were out of stock so we will be having to change our menu on Wednesday to  homemade cheese pizza.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
