Happy Easter!! I hope that everyone had a relaxing week with family and friends.

We only have about 5 weeks of school left.  It is crunch time.  We will be focusing on the last part of our academics.  Please remind your child that we still have a lot of learning to do.  I know it can be difficult but we still  need to stay focused and respectful at all times.  Keep your calendar handy because we will be having many upcoming events.  This Friday progress reports will be going home.  This is a reminder of your child's grades.  These are not final so there is always ways to improve.

Handwriting - We will be finishing our cursive handwriting book and students will begin writing in cursive.  
Phonics - prefixes, words with two or more consonants and vcv words
Reading - Charlottes Web chapter 10 & 11
Math - Chapter 8 on division, we will have a quiz on long division on Thursday, Math reviews will be sent home for homework.
Social Studies - Chapter 9,  If your child is finished with their project please keep it home until the day it is due.  I do not have space for the items in the class.  On the due date your child will bring their project and we will transport to the library for display.   Thank you

Farm safety day will be on Thursday, April 27th.  A permission slip will be going out this week. Later expect to see a few release forms that will go home and need to be signed before we go on our field trip.

We will be learning about Landmarks and symbols in the United States.  In the past 3rd grade has researched and created projects according to the landmark your child chooses.  I have discussed the project with the students and will probably choose Wednesday.  I will send home particulars on the project and it will be due on May 2nd.  I want to give you and your child enough time so the note will go home sometime this week.  After the note is sent home please do not hesitate to ask questions.  This is a home project and I have found that the project itself turns out to be a family event which is great!! Please make sure your child has involvement it is not meant to be Mom and Dads project.  The research must be written in your child's best handwriting.  Thank you again.
