Good afternoon. I have attached third grade newsletter and this week’s DREAM sheet. Dojo reports and graded test papers are also being sent home today. Please be sure to sign these and return them tomorrow. Please be reminded that our 3rd Nine Week Awards Program is tomorrow morning at 8:15am in the cafeteria. Stundents should “dress for success”, but then should also bring their class t-shirt to change into for our Palmetto’s Finest Awards Ceremony at 1:45. In Science this week, we are learning about changes to Earth’s surface. Students are required to know the following slow processes: weathering, erosion, and deposition. They are also required to know the following fast processes: landslides, volcanic eruptions, floods, and earthquakes. https://jr.brainpop.com/science/land/slowlandchanges/ https://jr.brainpop.com/science/land/fastlandchanges/ Today, we discussed the slow changes. These are very hard for the students to remember, so we made up some motions to go along with the words. In math, we are working on area and perimeter. Today in class, students worked in groups to find the area and perimeter of different animal pens from a farm. We discussed the following illustration to help them remember the difference between the two and how to find each. DREAM sheet is reflective of these practices. We are working on Math 4 Today #28. Our test this week will be on THURSDAY, due to South Carolina History Day. On Friday, students will observe SC History Day. We have several exciting visitors lined up to teach them all about South Carolina. Students will rotate around to different classes to learn about: · The State Dance; Shag · SC Native Americans · SC Agriculture · SC College Town *representing local colleges, universities, & technical schools · Revolutionary War · State Dog; Boykin Spaniel We will also enjoy a special SC menu for lunch and then complete a practice Aspire writing prompt where they write a reflective narrative of their experiences throughout the day. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I am looking forward to a very exciting week of learning!
