Dear Third Grade Students and Parents,
Here is the address for the website: http://www.quia.com/pages/marypbarkerclass.html
WEEK OF FEBRUARY 20
The big news this week is TERRA NOVA TESTING. This is the first year for these very long tests, so we've been taking practice tests and reviewing to get ready. I'm sure the students will do a wonderful job! I can't say enough times how important it is for your child to be at his/her best this week. Please see that they get PLENTY OF SLEEP AND A GOOD BREAKFAST. We will have a few things like hard candy to help keep their brains going, and will take plenty of breaks. They should also bring 2 #2 PENCILS AND A GOOD ERASER. The tests will be given every morning, with PE and Music scheduled at the end of the time. We will also have to give a few tests first thing in the afternoon. These give us very helpful information about how your children are doing, as well as some feedback about our curriculum and instruction. Thanks for your help!
We will have a few regualr class lessons in the afternoons, but nothing too strenous. No Spelling list!!!
DON'T FORGET Lent begins this week with Ash Wednesday. We will talk in religion class about how important it is to think about Jesus during this time, and try to sacrifice little things for Him. We're again encouraging the children to give up TV on Mondays, read spiritual books on Tuesday, go to Mass on Wednesdays, have Stations on Thursdays, and Adoration on Fridays. The only one you need to be in charge of is the "NO TV" on Monday--and if another day works better that's entirely up to you. It's amazing how many better things kids can find to do when the TV is turned off. Thank you for helping them learn about Lent.
Yours in Christ,

Mrs. Barker
