Hi Parents!
Thank you for a wonderful teacher appreciation week! I felt so loved, spoiled, and appreciated!
We have a very busy week in 3rd grade this week:
Monday: Special speaker for 3rd grade for our Tuesday STEAM challenge
Kickoff to Kindness Week at Tritt
Tuesday: STEAM day
Wednesday: Love and Literacy Breakfast in our classroom at 7:20 am
Classroom Valentine Delivery Day
Thursday: Target Day/Valentine's Day/Spring Picture Day
Friday: Shannon Bond speaker and watch Mr. Popper's Penguins
Here is some additional information to help you with this week:
Kindness Week: Use this week as a springboard to your family conversation about what it means to be kind or maybe even do a random act of kindness this week. We will be talking in length in our classroom about Kindness.
Valentine Delivery: All students should bring in some type of holder on Monday or Tuesday of this week. They need to make sure their name is visible. It can be a box or a bag of their choice. Additionally, they should bring in a valentine for each child, we have 25 students. They can address them or just complete the from section. We will deliver them on Wednesday since our Target day is Thursday.
Love and Literacy Breakfast: Please plan to wait in the lobby until the bell rings for school to start. Then head on down to our classroom. This is an informal showcase event. Students are showcasing an opinion writing piece for you to read. Please feel free to read other student writing and offer words of praise for their hard work! Our breakfast celebration will come to a close once the morning announcements begin (7:55). I hope to see you all there!
Picture Day: We will take our class picture on Thursday. Our picture time is 9:22 so please have your child dress for the picture. I will allow them some time to change if needed after the picture.
Friday: I still need several permission slips back for our speaker on Friday. It was a green informational letter from our counselors. I will send home some extras this week as I need them all back by Thursday.
Also, we finished our read aloud, Mr. Popper's Penguins, and will watch the movie on Friday!
Here is what we are learning this week:
Math: In Math we will continue working on time to the minute and elapsed time. We will take our time assessment on Friday.
Science: In Science we will learn about plant adaptations.
Writing: We will complete an opinion piece this week.
Reading: We will identify the point of view of different books read aloud. Students will identify the point of view of books they are reading independently.
We plan to work hard this week since we have the following week off for a break, I can't believe it's already here. I feel like we just returned from the December/January break.
I hope you all have a great week spreading Kindness to others!
All the Best,
Mrs. Adams
