Updates from Room 201

Hello Parents!  I just wanted to give you some updates and reminders of things happening in Room 201.

Science

There will be a science test on Tuesday on animals and their adaptations.  The students brought home a study review sheet on Friday.  Please remind them to look it over tonight.  They have loved going out to the pond and looking for animals.  However with the weather being so cold and with all of the rain, we haven’t see much action.  A few turtles, a couple frogs, and of course the ducks and swans but that is all.

Next we will move into a plant unit. We will review the parts of the plant and learn adaptations.

Social Studies

On Thursday we will have our last social studies test on Core Democratic Values and Public Issues.  A study review will go home on Tuesday.  The students have done a great job understanding the process of a public issue and what is their part as a responsible citizen in solving the problem.

Homework

Math homework is done for the year!!!  However, there may be random work that needs to be completed at home.  One of them is coming home tonight.  Students have chosen a public issue article.  They need to get two opinions from people at home (mom, dad, grandparent, neighbor, etc.) . Please send this back to school on WEDNESDAY!

The other homework is the Wax Museum.  This information was sent home at the beginning of May.  If you don’t know what I am talking about, please email me and I will send another home. How is it going finding an outfit?  Please let me know if you need ideas.  We will start practicing in class next week on presentation and using our notecards.

I think those are all the big things.  We will have fun activities going into the last 10 days of 3rd grade.  I will let you know ahead of time if anything is needed from home.

As always thank you for your never ending support!  Enjoy your day! 🙂
