Merry Christmas, Third Grade Families!

This week our little elves will be working hard on a special Christmas gift for moms and dads. No peeking. Our plan is to send them home on Thursday.

Friday morning is our class holiday party! We will be dining on pizza and doughnut holes before taking some time to play outside. If your child has dietary restrictions that prevent him/her from eating these foods, please pack an alternative.

The coming weeks are particularly busy for all, so there will be no homework assigned. Instead, the students are to rest up and be good in preparation for Santa.

In class this week…

Math: We will take time to review and reinforce place value to the millions in preparation for our next chapter.

There will be no assigned IXL skills for homework this week!!!

Spelling: Spelling tests will take place on Thursday. No new words will be assigned.

Reading: The class will continue an “author study” of children’s author and illustrator Jan Brett.

There will be no assigned reading this week. Instead, enjoy a good book at your leisure.

Science: Mr. Rzasa is back with a special lab that involves slime!

Social Studies & Religion: The class will focus on Christmas traditions.

Some of this week’s highlights:

Wednesday: Free Dress. Bring $1 for the St. Vincent de Paul Society.

Friday: Free Dress — no charge. Noon dismissal.

See you next year!
