Our Christmas show is on Tuesday evening at 7:00. The children have been rehearsing their lines, and we are all ready to go! We have a dress rehearsal on Monday and Tuesday mornings. Please send your child to school with his or her costume on those days. On the evening of the show, I need all third graders to meet me in our classroom at 6:40. Please be on time.
We are having our Christmas party next Monday (December 21st) in the afternoon.
This week we are finishing up our story on Kamishibai Man. Then we are going to read Young Thomas Edison and Moving Pictures. We are going to have a test on this story on Tuesday, December 22nd. The target vocabulary is invention, experiment, laboratory, genius, gadget, electric, signal, and occasional.
Our spelling words this week are works with au, aw, al, and o. The spelling words are talk, cross, awful, law, cloth, cost, crawl, chalk, also, raw, salt, wall, lawn, and always.
In Grammar, we are focusing on pronouns (I, you, he, she, it, we, and they) and antecedent (the word the pronoun refers to).
In Social Studies, we are finishing up our unit on Mexico. We have focused on the land, the history, the government, Working in Mexico and Living in Mexico. We are ending this unit by creating a travel poster about Mexico. When we return from Christmas break, we will begin studying Canada.
In Science, we are studying the life cycles of butterflies, frogs, and mammals.
In Math, we are having our Chapter 5 test on Monday. Next we start division. I will have extra help on Monday morning at 7:45.
Have a wonderful week, and please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
