1. Happy end of trimester two and beginning of trimester three. Report cards will be sent home this Friday.
2. It is hard to believe that we have started the final trimester of third grade! This trimester we will not be doing an Accelerated Reader goal. Instead, we will be doing a math goal. Details will be sent home next week.
3. Students are still encouraged to read for fun. The best way to improve in reading is to read. At home, you can help your child with comprehension by having them tell you about what they are reading. Have them retell the story, or share their favorite parts.
4. The students have been and will be doing their final MAP test of this year. The dates have been moved up in order for us to see where the students are at and what they still need to learn. Mr. Melde’s class has completed their tests. Ms. Gustafson’s class will do the reading on Friday and math on Monday.
5. The state tests: MCA-III will be April 19 and 20 for reading and May 4 and 5 for math. Please mark your calendars. Thanks for your work with you child at home on their practice tests. We have not covered all the concepts on the math test yet. So, please work with your child and figure them out together.
6. On Wednesday, March 16th we will be going to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. Each class will need 3 volunteers. We will leave here about 10:30 a.m. and be back around 1:00 p.m. We will have lunch when we get back to school.
7. Next Friday, we will be participating in a video conference about fossils with the Calvert Marine Museum in Maryland.
Thank you for all your support and work with you child! We are having a great year!
