Maker's Week

This week was a highlight for so many students!  There was so much joy and excitement in creating, making, and discovering new things.  As a teacher I loved seeing the creativity and enthusiasm that this week brought.  Make sure to ask your child about the special activities they took part in each day!

Upcoming events:

• Reading Minutes due Monday
• Word work test on Friday
• Seusville Fun Night- March 18- To help keep costs down, third grade students are asked to bring in regular size candy bars to use with some of the games.  Please contribute if you are able.  
• Conferences will be March 28-30.  Sign-up information will be coming soon.
• Spring Break- March 31-April 8

Here is brief look what we have been doing in 3rd grade!  Our class time this week was short due to Maker's activities and the snow day.  :)

Literacy:  We worked through our chapter this week on survival skills for our animals.  For most students this was a 2-4 paragraph chapter and took a lot of work to organize.  We spent a lot of time this week editing our work with a partner and making sure that we are writing in complete sentences and also starting with a strong main idea sentence for each paragraph.  

Bible:  We read through and discussed the 10 plagues this week.  What an powerful God we serve and we see this as the plagues are sent to Egypt.  We talked a lot about Pharaoh's hard heart.  As a class we prayed that our hearts remain soft so that we can share Jesus' love and His incredible story with others.  

Social Studies:  We have become historians and are busy studying the history of Michigan.  This week we learned about primary and secondary clues as well as studying the Hopewell tribe.  

Math:  We will begin our new unit on fractions next week. 

Blessings!
