“Hope does not disappoint us.”  Romans 5:5
                                     
February 2012

Dear Third Grade Parents,

     Our field trip to the Exploratorium in San Francisco was great fun.  The students wrote about their experience and we took many pictures.  They will be making a booklet of it to enter into the Young Author’s Fair.

     The Literature Circles are almost completed.  The students have been responding to their particular book as to the main character, description of the setting, and what is the author’s message.  They will be creating their own Quiz Time and writing questions for their partners to answer.  Next we will read a class book entitled George Washington’s Breakfast.  We will be learning many interesting facts about our first president. This will lead us into learning about other great Americans and writing reports.

     We are finishing our math units on multiplication and division The students are being tested on Tuesdays and Thursdays as to the automaticity of their facts through twelve.  It is very important that the students know these facts to progress to higher levels of math.  We begin our unit on Statistics and Probability.

     For February the students wrote about their own personal hope of their heart. They are posted on the bulletin board in the hall.  We are looking forward to the upcoming events happening in February.
