Third Grade is something to SMILE about!
Dear Parents and Students,
It was a fun second week in Third Grade. We are working hard and we are learning many new things.
We awarded our first Student of the Week for the school year. Congratulations to Emily Su. She is a very good example of a student who works hard, who has beautiful manners, and has a great attitude in school.
Clubs will start next week. Buses will take bus students home on Mondays and Wednesdays. However, if students want to take part in clubs scheduled for Tuesdays and Thursdays, or afternoon activities on Fridays, transportation has to be arranged by parents.
Curriculum plan for Week 3:
Math: We started with Chapter 2 this week. We will finish the chapter by the end of week 3. So students, do your homework daily! And REVIEW! A math test is scheduled for Tuesday, September 20th.
Science: We finished Chapter 1. The Science test will take place on Friday, September 16th.
Social Studies: We did the first lesson of Chapter 1 and learnt about how powerful the oceans are and how erosion takes place. Next week we will continue and also move on to Chapter 2.
English: We finished Unit 1. The English Test is scheduled for Wednesday, September 14. On Friday, September 16, we will start looking at Unit 2.
