FEBRUARY 23-27
We have began the Lenten Season. Please continue to discuss Lent and what is means to your family. We will begin adoration on Wednesday. This is a time to reflect on those who need prayers and time to help others with prayer.
READING/SPELLING - This weeks story is Storm in the Night. Spelling and vocabulary
ENGLISH - Spring writing and persuasive writing
MATH - Test chapter 11 on Friday. Each day beginning Monday the Math must be signed by a parent. Most students are following along but some are still having difficulty with Division. We have been working on division for 2 1/2 weeks. Some students are still struggling because they do not know their multiplication math facts. This is something that is done in class three times a week but needs to be done at home too. It is important to go over the math each day this week since we will be having a test Friday.
SOCIAL STUDIES - Test next Tuesday on Ch. 6. A study guide will go home tomorrow. Please go over the questions with your child and Please sign and return the study guide.
Religion - Ch. 20 The church prays for world peace
Science - Matter
Our Field trip to the Safety Farm Day will be on April 30th. Some parents have signed up to drive. I will be sending home a paper for volunteers to fill out from the Farm Safety Day. Also if your child has not sent in their permission slip please do so as soon as possible. Thank you

Last week I posted information regarding study guides. It stated:
I am trying something new with the study guides for tests since it seems as if some students are still not taking home study guides. It is very important that parents are involved in the process of helping your child with study skills also along with school. WHEN THERE IS AN UPCOMING TEST A STUDY GUIDE IS DONE IN CLASS. STUDENTS WILL TAKE IT HOME AND IT NEEDS TO BE SIGNED THAT NIGHT BY A PARENT. THIS SHOWS THAT YOU AS THE PARENT ARE MAKING A CONSCIOUS EFFORT IN HELPING YOUR CHILD SUCCEED. IF IT IS NOT SIGNED I WILL TAKE PART OF YOUR CHILD'S RECESS AWAY SO PLEASE DO NOT TURN THEM WHEN THEY ASK FOR HELP WITH THEIR STUDY GUIDE. I AM ASKING YOU HELP IN GUIDING YOUR CHILD. THANK YOU
WE ARE ALSO 1/2 WAY THROUGH THE THIRD QUARTER OF THIRD GRADE. IT IS YOUR CHILD'S RESPONSIBILITY TO BE SURE THEY ARE KEEPING UP WITH ALL OF THEIR WORK AND WRITING IN THEIR PLANNER EVERY MORNING. IF THEY DO NOT FINISH AN ASSIGNMENT IT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN HOME AND TURNED IN THE FOLLOWING DAY. LATE WORK PASSED A DAY WILL NO LONGER BE ACCEPTED. IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT STUDENTS ARE BECOMING MORE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN WORK AND ACTIONS. PLEASE INSTILL IN YOUR CHILD BY HELPING THEM TO BECOME MORE RESPONSIBLE.
Thank you for your time and God Bless
