Greetings Parents,
Three more weeks of school...three more IMPORTANT
weeks of school. We had a great time at Wet n Wild on Friday morning. The
students will remember the slip n slide and the popsicles for sure! Even Ms.
Jade and Ms. Jamie got in on the slip n slide. Don’t forget the Poetry share in
two weeks on the 11th of June from 8:15-9:15 A.M.
Ask your third grader about their Passion
Project...they are wonderful projects that are close to the hearts of your
children...saving animals and trees, making ISKL more beautiful, and adding
green space to our campus. Have a great last FULL week of third grade.

Reading
This week students will continue to read wonderful poetry, using their
ideas to spark new ideas in their own poems. Poetry is wonderful to read out
loud and we will be doing this a lot this week and next.
|
|
Writing
This week students will continue to write new poems in their poetry
journal focusing on daily lessons surrounding poetry conventions. They will
be starring their favorite ones...thinking about which poems will make their
poetry share on June 11.
|
|
Math
Students will continue to work on fractions. This week they will work
on ways to recognize and show that equivalent fractions have the same size,
though not necessarily the same shape.
|
|
Science
Students will continue to
investigate the Maglev Train and how unbalanced forces cause the train to
come down. We are finishing up our unit on forces soon.
|
Week
of May 13th. Please complete 2 activities and bring in to share on Friday, May
17th.

Math:
Mr. Morefield is
moving to Prague. He told his third graders that he has sold ⅔ of his
furniture. Ms. Blair said that she has sold ¾ of her furniture. Who has sold
the most furniture? Show how you know this using two rectangles.
|
Language Arts: Ask
your parents about some poems they remember when they were young and see if
you can change it and make it your own poem. Be prepared to share it with the
class.
|
Language Arts:
Write a fictional account of how the Maglev train rises and falls on the
track. Use your imagination while thinking about some crazy ways that train
could “float.”

Reading is just what we do. It is expected each night.
