Hello Families! We had a magnificent time yesterday at the Alberta Bair Theater watching The BFG. What a treat that we were able to go and enjoy it. Thank you to the community for offering it to us!
Reading: We will continue reading Frindle this week. Many of the reading strategies we will be using this week will be comparing and contrasting (The BFG movie, book, play) with a triple Venn diagram, making and writing opinions, and defining character traits.
Math: We are currently working on hands-on activities that give the students practice with estimating, graphing, multiplying, and dividing. We are also working on taking a total amount and putting it into groups (we are building a solid understanding of division).
Spelling: Words ending with -ed and -ing
Writing: The third-graders will be writing their own elaborated sentences to turn Humpty Dumpty into their own sentences and stories.
On Friday, we will be visiting the 5th-grade Wax Museum. The 5th-graders have researched people from history, and they will be dressing up as the wax character. For a coin (penny, nickel, dime, or quarter), they will answer a question. If possible, please send your child to school with five or more coins so they can participate!
We will also have the school carnival from 6-8 on Friday night! Come join the fun and games!
Enjoy the remainder of your week!
Miss Kimpton
