Happy Valentine's Day!

Hello Third grade Families,

What a special week we have ahead of us. It is going to be a busy one, but filled with so much LOVE!

On Wednesday, we will celebrate Valentine's Day. Students may bring in their valentine's and we will pass them out in the afternoon during our party. 

On Friday, we gather as a community to celebrate the Sacraments of Confirmation and First Holy Communion. Please be sure to read Mrs. Westerfield's email, so that you are aware of the day's events. 

Housekeeping issues to address:

• Please check in with your child to see if they are in need of any school supplies. Our classes are extremely low of the class buckets for glue sticks, scissors, and pencils. 
• Please reinforce at home, the importance of covering their mouth when sneezing and coughing, as well as, washing their hands after using the restroom and when coughing or sneezing into them. We have had several students out over the last few weeks and we want to try our best to keep everyone healthy. 
• Please remember to leave ALL your child's work in their accordion folders as we are continually working on mini projects and assignments that they will need at school. 

ELA 



Spelling skill focuses on compound words.
Grammar skill focuses on adverbs.
Reading skill focuses on main idea and details. 

Social Studies

Students will continue to learn about the Civil War by adding daily facts to their Civil War Journal. Students are also learning about different Presidents through a research project that is taking place during our writing and computer lab time. 

Math 
The students will complete their lessons on long division.  We will then move into the concept of counting money.  This will also include, adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing with money.

The students will now need to utilize the school's dream box program, three times a week, for 15 minutes sessions.

Religion 

Students will continue to prepare for their Retreat.
