NEWS FROM 3RD GRADE:<br />
The emphasis in Math for the third quarter is MULTIPLICATION and DIVISION! All<br />
third graders are working hard on learning the concepts of multiplication and division, the<br />
vocabulary associated with these processes, and strategies for memorizing the facts. Applying<br />
these facts to everyday situations and problems is also being explored. Additional<br />
practice and reinforcement at home are necessary for the mastery of these facts.<br />
The first week of <strong>March</strong> was designated as Read Across America Week. The third grade classes celebrated with an<br />
author study of Patricia Polacco. Each third grade teacher and Mrs. Eldredge selected one of their favorite books by<br />
this author and the students were able to listen to a different story each day.<br />
The <strong>March</strong> Birthday Lunch was celebrated on <strong>March</strong> 7. The following students were honored:<br />
Eli B., Ryan W., Tucker S., Preston I., Latara D., Esteban C., Tyler J., Alex O., Casey P., Megan<br />
H., Krista J., Brynn M., Chase K., Lucas S., Matthew D., Lydia E., David R., and Zoe G.<br />
There was a great turn-out for the third grade concert on <strong>March</strong> 16.<br />
The theme, “Americans All”, was explored through songs. Mrs. Westfall, the music teacher, did a<br />
wonderful job preparing the students and conducting the musical. Mrs. Ford, the art teacher,<br />
worked with the third graders to create beautiful heritage quilts that were displayed during the<br />
concert.<br />
We appreciate the fact that parents are taking the time to read individual class newsletters,<br />
help their child complete homework, and sign planners daily.<br />
<strong>March</strong> 23 is the end of the third quarter. Report cards will be coming home on Thursday,<br />
April 5.<br />
