There is much going on the next few
days at HCE in third grade!
Today, students started on their Road-trip Across America. We took an imaginary trip to Colorado and California. We skied and visited Hollywood. Then, we journaled about our excitement in our state scrapbooks. On Tuesday and Wednesday, students will rotate to Ms. Goble and Ms. Rozzell's classrooms to learn about 4 other states. By Friday, they will have a scrapbook full of journaled memories and souvenirs.
On Thursday, we will head to Main Street Theater to watch the play, Charlotte's Web. This chapter book has been a class read aloud for us in Language Arts this year. It will be exciting to see how the actors and actresses portray our favorite scenes! We will be back on campus in time for lunch. Please have your student wear his or her HCE t-shirt that day.
Spelling lists should still be coming home. Please encourage your child to complete his or her homework menu by Thursday each week. Spelling tests are on Fridays.
In Language Arts we are in full blown BOOK CLUB. Students are reading a text with a group in their class and are responsible for working through the book in between and during meetings. In between meetings, they look for SPARKLING or NEW words, record questions or wonderings they have and record connections. Each week, when we meet, they present their findings and wonderings to the group for discussion. It's always fun to see how students have grown as readers. This type of preparation and participation takes maturity!
Third grade will give our States Quiz May 16th. Students are expected to know the location, name and correct spelling of 30 states. Review materials were sent home last Wednesday. Please help your child review nightly. This is a large amount of information and cannot be learned in one or two nights. We will be reviewing states in class each day. If you could please continue this review at home each night it would benefit your child!
Thank you for all you do to
support learning at home!
