Music Concert, Tuesday, April 12

Dear Families,

Third graders have been working hard to get ready for their Spring Concert on Tuesday, April 12.  The concert will start at 6:00 p.m.  Students should arrive at school at 5:45 and come dressed to perform in clean, bright clothes.



We have started to learn about the continent of Australia in preparation for our upcoming Non-Fiction Research Unit.  After vacation, third graders will choose an Australian animal to become an expert on. They will be writing an informational article on their animal and making a sculpture in art class.  Part of our Australia unit, includes geography work.  Your student has a map of the world to study.  He/she is learning to identify the continents and major oceans on the map.

In math, we will are completing our study of quadrilaterals and moving into area, perimeter and further work with fractions.  We hope to finish this unit before the April vacation.


On May 25, third and fourth grades will be going to Shelburne Farms for a field trip.  We will be participating in a Wet Lands Investigation.   Mark your calendars with this date, we would love to have parents join us!
