Third grade
students are coming together to raise items for our themed basket Family
Movie Night! The auction will
take place during the night of the Dodgeball Tournament (January 29). We are asking families to think of the theme
and donate item(s) that will go towards this great event! Movies, candy, popcorn, popcorn seasoning, popcorn containers, NCG gift card, gift card for pizza…anything to
make a family cozy and entertained during these cold winter months! It would be great to have all items turned in
by the end of next week (January 31)! Thanks for your
help in funding field trips and other special activities!
In keeping with Third
Grade Common Core State Standards for literature and listening, we will be
going to MSU’s
Wharton Center to see Diary of a Worm, a Spider, and a Fly, a musical presented by the Omaha Theatre
Company.
Students
will learn it’s not easy being a bug, especially on the first day of school!
But luckily for Worrying Worm, Fearless Fly, and Sassy Spider, every creature
finds its special talent in Diary of a
Worm, a Spider, and a Fly. Spider waits anxiously to shed his skin; Worm
feels self-conscious and embarrassed for having no legs; and Fly’s 327 brothers
and sisters drive her so crazy that she can hardly focus on schoolwork. Based on the bestselling books, this
hysterical musical coming-of-age will have students cheering on the quirky
crawlers as they face problems and milestones common to us all.
The
performance is scheduled for Monday, February 10, 2014. We will be leaving school at 11:50 AM and
returning around 2:00 PM. Please send in
$8.00 to cover cost of the ticket and transportation costs. Thank you.
In reading this week, we will read a selection called The Jones Family Express. (Unit 3, Week 4) We will practice the strategy of inferring. Authors do not always tell everything about the characters and events in a story. Often readers must make inferences, or use story clues, illustrations, and their own experiences to determine what was left out. Students will learn about future-tense verbs in grammar and words with the /ȕ/ sound in spelling. In writing, students are writing opinion pieces and supporting their point of view with reasons. In math, we are beginning Chapter 5 which is continuing learning strategies for multiplication. Here’s where knowing the multiplication facts really comes in handy. In science, we will begin learning about animal adaptations.
