Third Grade May Newsletter

Wow! I can’t believe this is our last classroom newsletter. This month will go very quickly and we have a lot to accomplish. Our school will be having some special activities planned and our classroom as well. Please keep a copy of the Friday note and a calendar handy. I hope you all have a wonderful summer vacation and hope to see you in the fall!

Reading/Language Arts: We will be completing our reading textbook and workbook this month. We will be doing several writing and craft projects as we read . While preparing for the “Cat’s Paw” writing booklet for our school we will be typing and editing stories in the computer lab. Our classroom will be transformed into an “Ocean” as we learn to write research paper and read about ocean animals.

Math: Along with daily review of prior skills, we’ll be learning to divide with remainders. We’ll continue to review multiplication of larger numbers and with decimals.

Social Studies: We are finishing our unit on Reconstruction and moving into Modern history. We’ll end with Arkansas government and Arkansas role in the United States.

Religion: We are reading about the Ascension of Christ and the Pentecost. We will end the year reading and learning about the early church and our role as Christians and missionaries.

Science: We will be making an ocean soda bottle diorama in class as we research ocean animals. Our unit on speed and energy is almost complete. A study guide and folder should come home soon.
