We are well on our way in 2012! The students had a great time creating snowflakes, building their snowflake snowmen, and writing about what they would do if it snowed. The snowflake to the left can be viewed along with others at snowcrystals.com.
Along with imagined snow, we are learning to add, subtract and compare fractions, and continue to practice division facts. Changing fractions into decimals will complete this math unit. Applying learned math skills to problem solving is ongoing. In science we have been reading about animal and plant features that ensure survival and will begin our animal research for report writing next week. Georgia Habitats will complete our Living Science Unit.
Please remind your child to complete our Garrison Mill Hero Writing Assignment due February 24th. We plan to have the students share their Hero Writing with our class before turning them into PTA on the 25th.
Please remind your child to read at least 20 minutes each night and to take AR tests. The third grade AR requirement for the third quarter is 10 points. Students should take tests within or above their AR range (written in the back of the agenda) and must pass the test (above 70%) to receive point credit.
