3rd grade AR!

3S is doing a great job of reading, reading, reading for Accelerated Reader! By last Friday, almost everyone had earned at least 1 point, and 4 students were over 10 points! Currently, Mrs. Slack is reading the class a book called "The Candy Corn Contest." In our class, we're having our own candy corn contest, too! For every AR point students earn through Nov 12th, students can earn a guess in the contest. The winner with the closest guess, wins the jar! Starting in November, students will also begin working toward a Hat Day incentive. Keep Reading!! :)

This week...

Wonder what your child should be learning this week in 3rd grade?

Your child should be able to:

* subtract larger numbers with more than one regrouping.

* explain the difference between fantasy and realism.

* write a fiction story about their pumpkin from the pumpkin's point of view.

*explain what service is and brainstorm ideas of how they can help their community.

* spell words with 'long i' patterns.

*read fluently at their reading level and locate specific details.

and mush more :) Ask your child about what they learned today!

New Pet!

After our cool animal assembly on Friday here at school. Mr. Slack and I decided we wanted to get a chinchilla!! Although when we found them at the pet store, we couldn't leave one by itself, we took home both! They are brothers and we named them Springer (lighter one) and Marley! They have been a fun animal to watch and take care of so far. They are nocturnal, like to jump, and take dust baths! Leave a comment with any questions about this softest animal in the world!

Grandparent and Special Friends' Day!

Thanks to all our grandparents and special friends who joined us on Friday!

Butterfly Release!!
