Friday, March 4th is the Wax Museum. Students have been working hard on their reports, back drops and speeches. Please check in with your child to make sure that he/she has everything needed for his/her costume. We are looking forward to seeing you for this fun event!
Wax Museum
Friday, March 4
1:00-2:00 p.m.
Third Graders will be reading Mystery Books for their home reading during the the month of March. Students will try to read several mystery books during the month and complete small projects around their books. In addition to Mystery Books, students will also be choosing a novel to read during class as part of a mixed grade level book group. I have notices that many students are "forgetting" to fill out their book logs and return them to school on a daily basis. As we move into our March Mystery Books, we will be working to read for a minimum of 20 minutes a night and to fill out reading logs daily.
It is hard to believe that March is almost here! It is time to think of Spring Conferences. The March Conference is a student led conference. Students will spend time over the next two weeks preparing for their conferences. This conference is a great opportunity for students to share what they have learned this year and set goals for the remainder of the school year. There is a lot of preparation that goes into these conferences. It is very helpful, if all of the conferences can be done over a few days, so that you child has an opportunity to share his/her information soon after he/she prepares for the conferences. I will be trying to do all of the third grade conferences on March 10 and 11th. Your child will bring home a list of conference times on Monday. Please choose three times that you and your child are available for a conference and send back the form as soon as possible. You may also email me a list of times you are available, and I can get back to you by email. I will be running conferences from 2;30-7:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 10 and 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Friday, March 11. I look forward to meeting with you and your child.

I have been spending time helping third graders get familiar with the computerized Smarter Balance Test that all third graders will be taking at the beginning of May. Third graders have had a chance to explore some of the training and practice tests. This gives them an opportunity to experience the type of questions they will be asked and know how to use the various computer buttons that are available to them. I have attached a link to the SBAC student/family training site, so that you have an opportunity to see what the SBAC third grade test is like. If you need help navigating through the training, ask your third grader for assistance!
Students had a wonderful afternoon skating on Friday, February 12. Here are some photos from this fun even!

Mare (Luke's Grandmother) sent bracelets from Florida for all of the third graders and their preschool buddies. Here are some photos of students wearing their new bracelets!
In math, we are hard at work on division. Here are photos of a few of the models that we have been using to show our division thinking!
