December 12-16
Happy Holidays!!! This will be a very fun and eventful week here at school. We have lots of holiday activities planned as well as, finishing up some important learning for the 2nd quarter.
That's right, Friday is the last day of the 2nd quarter! Can you beleive we are halfway through the year already?! Report cards will come home after winter break.
Our holiday party will be Thursday at 3:00.
There is a minimum day on Friday. Students will dismiss at 12:10.
School resumes on Jan.5th for students
Spelling Bee
This year the 3rd graders are being included in the school Spelling Bee. We will have our class spelling bee tomorrow, Tuesday, to determine who the two students will be that will represent our class. I gave the boys and girls a packet of spellling words about 2 weeks ago. That is the packet they need to study not only for the class bee, but the school-wide spelling bee, as well.
Reading
We completed our recycling theme last week, so instead of beginning a new theme and only getting halfway through it, we will spend this week practicing a variety of reading strategies while we enjoy some holiday literature.
NO SPELLING THIS WEEK!
Math
Money is focus for the week. This is not part of our math program but is an important concept for the students to learn. There will NOT be a math test this week.
Science
We will finish studying inventors and inventions this week.
I would like to wish you a safe and joyful holiday season with your families!! See you all in the new year!!

December 5-9
Hi Families,
The 3rd grade presidential election has concluded! Our class is thrilled to announce that our very own Cole Knappen will be not only our class president, but the 3rd grade president as well! Congratulations Cole! We are all so proud of you!
We have a chilly week ahead of us, and a busy one too! Please make sure your child has a jacket with them for recess. Until the temperature drops below 20 degrees, we will be taking the students outside.
The 3rd grade music performance is this Thursday. Your child needs to be at school on Thursday evening by 6:40 to get ready for the 7:00pm performance. They should be dressed in their Christmas best. For the school performance they are expected to wear a red, green or white shirt. Please email Mrs. Ronchetti if you have any further questions. KRonchetti@usd232.org
Reading
We will finish up our theme about Recycling on Friday with a Theme Test. This theme has been used simultaneously with social studies so that we can learn about reducing, reusing, and recyclying in more detail. On Wednesday, there will be a special presentation given to the entire 3rd grade by Mr. Miller. He works for Deffenbaugh and has some great information he can teach the children about helping our environment.
Spelling
The patterns for the week are:
Rigby list- syllables
Prefix list- "un-" which means 'not'.
Writing
We will be reviewing friendly letter writing this week and will begin drafting special letters to Santa.
Math
We will be completing our geometry unit this week with the final test on Thursday. We will begin the week by practicing problem solving strategies and play a fun jeopardy review game to practice for the aseessment.
Science
Inventions have made our world a better, easier place to live. We will spend these last two weeks before winter break learning about special inventions and inventors.
Have a great week and stay warm!!
