December 10-14

Hi Families,

We are nearing the end of the 2nd quarter in 3rd grade.  The last day of the semester is next Thursday, Dec. 20.  We will have a busy afternoon that day:
1:30-2:15-- The entire school will listen to The Polar Express read by Mr. Hertog.
2:15-3:00-- The Choir and Band will perform for the entire school.
3:00-3:45-- Classroom/Holiday Party--Thank you to Mrs. Wootton for getting this party organized.  It looks like the kids are going to have a lot of fun.

Monday will be PJ day for the 3rd grade!  The 3rd grade will be watching "The Lorax" as a reward for having 75% (or more) participation in our Cool the Earth program. 

Please continue to vote daily.  There are only 9 days left.  Vote for Prairie Ridge at www.vote232.com or by texting 1044pbf to 95248.  Thanks again for all you help and support.

Here is a look at what's going on this week:

Reading-  This week in reading we will be learning about "Nature's Hazards" as we determine what's important in the text that we read.

Spelling-  The pattern this week is Homonyms-- these are words that sound the same but are spelled different and have a different meaning.  The final test will be on Friday.

Writing-  The students are continuing to write about "What it would be like to live in a snowglobe".  The students will be finishing their prewriting and will start writing a first draft.

Math- We completed our multiplication unit on Friday.  So, today we started to learn about its inverse operation, division.  The students will learn that division is separating a total into groups.

Social Studies-  International Research-  The students will begin researching information about the country in which they will be studying. 

Have a great week!!
