Field Trip:
Our filed trip will be taking place on February 25th to the Grand Rapids Public Museum. A permission slip went home last week with the basic details of the trip. Please be sure to send in $3 for your child no later than this Friday. If you would like to be a chaperone (we will not be limiting the chaperones due to this being our only trip) please send in $7 to cover general admission. If you have a museum membership you may use it to cover your admission (not your student's). Chaperones will be meeting us at the museum at 9:50. Body Safety Presentation: On Thursday we will have our body safety lesson that is put on for all of the 3rd grades in the county. A person from the Children's Advocacy Center will be coming in to talk to the kids about what a safe touch is and what an unsafe touch is. She speaks to the students about who safe people are to talk to and what they can do if they feel uncomfortable about something. I have watched this presentation for the past 5 years and the lady does a very nice job. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please contact me. Typing Pizza Party: On Thursday, February 12th, the students will not need a lunch!! They have worked very hard to earn the typing pizza party at Park Elementary. The Tech Department will be providing a pizza lunch. Please send your child with a side and a drink. Valentine's Day: Our Valentine's Party will be taking place at 2:30 on Friday. We will be doing some candy science as part of our celebration. If you are interested in helping with an experiment, please send me an email! We will be exchanging valentines earlier in the day. Have your child only fill out the "from" line to make passing the valentines out quick and easy! I am looking forward to celebrating Valentine's Day with this "sweet" science. Math: We will be wrapping up subtraction by talking about how to use addition to check our answers. We will be looking at how to use fact families to solve word problems. This unit will be wrapping up next week following some multi-step word problems. Social Studies: We will continue to learn about the fur trade and the explorers this week. Students will continue to travel back in time and write in their travel journals about the things that they have learned. Grammar: This week we will focus on the three types of sentences. Students will practice writing simple, complex, and compound sentences this week. Writing: This week will be all about revising our writing and creating final copies. Reading: This week we will focus on pulling meaning from our non-fiction text so that we can teach others about what we have learned. We will be using our main idea and graphic organizer strategies to help with this task.
