We have officially launched into December and the holiday craziness has begun! We have many wonderful things happening in just a few short weeks. I will go through what to expect over the busy weeks ahead. First up is our Holiday Hope project. I want to thank all of you for your help with donations and time to make this project happen. This weekend I spent some time planning out our shopping trip and it looks like we are going to be able to make some real Christmas magic this year! We even have plans for a special Christmas Eve box underway! Our shopping trip is planned for Tuesday, December 5th at 6:00. We will be meeting at Target in Grandville. I will be standing near the costumer service desk when you walk in. Please come and see me for your shopping assignment and information about checkout! We will be wrapping our gifts on Friday, the 15th of December. If you signed up to donate, you should have received an email from me this weekend! If you have extra rolls that you don't plan on using this season, we always love to have a big variety to pick from! We will be participating in the Elf Factory on Wednesday. Students will all be able to create something (there was a free project). They will bring home the items from their order completed and ready to wrap! Also in December is our long awaited Christmas concert. The students have been practicing like crazy and are sounding so good! Our concert is on December 12th at 7:30 and will be held at Fellowship Church. Students need to report to the Fellowship room (upstairs) at 7:15. If you have any questions about the concert please let me know. More information will be coming home from the music teacher shortly. Our Christmas party will be taking place on Thursday, December 21st. This party is going to be a movie and will be just teacher and students. The third grade students will be participating in winter themed activities throughout the day and then enjoying treats and the Polar Express. We will plan to wear pjs on this day as well. I will send out emails to those who signed up to donate to our party. Please take some time to look over these things and email me any questions that you may have! 3rd Grade CurriculumMath - We will be starting our new unit of measurement in math. Students will be starting with telling time and learning how to calculate elapsed time. This concept can be VERY tricky. Please take some time to practice this skill with them at home! This site is a fun place to practice.
Writing- We will be working on understanding non-fiction text features and how we can use them to help our reader understand the text that we have written. We will be integrating some science into this unit so we will also be learning about animal adaptations at this time. Reading- We are working on our informational unit. Students will be using text features to guide their research.
