Reading: Work on your biography report. Read 45 min.
Math: SS # 87 Practice your multiplication facts!
Religion: Go to Mass.
FYI: Sorry I did not get this week’s Frog sheets stapled on the papers. It seemed like they hopped away when I went for them. Could not spare the time to look before stapling the week’s tests and gathering the worksheets together.
Field trip: Please consider coming with us March 29 to Feed My Starving Children. We need a 1/3 ratio of adults to students. Send me an email or return the form that went home on Wednesday if you can be a chaperone.
A wonderful Catholic Schools Week has arrived. We started off with a great Mass and Open House on Sunday. I was delighted to see so many families, prospective families and former students.This week we are doing Faith Trivia every morning. Tuesday there is a CSW Mass at 10:30 am hosted by both 1st grades, Mrs. Grusecki’s 4th grade, and my third grade class. On Wednesday everyone gets to wear pajamas to school for Student Appreciation Day. No tests will be given on Wednesday or written homework for that day. We do have a science test on Thursday. Students voted that that would rather have it on Thursday than Tuesday, so a few minutes of review might not be a bad idea on Wedneday. We are reviewing in class and I announced this date last week. Thursday is scheduled for a movie, a rare treat! Friday is the Red & White volleyball game. Third grade plays at 10:20 to 10:40.

We had a great Catholic School’s week! Challenging Religion Trivia every morning, pajama day, a Ramona movie with pop corn, and the great Red & White Volleyball game. Our Red team won which made it even better
Service: On Wednesday I sent home a note asking for chaperones to our March 29th field trip to Feed My Starving Children in Aurora. This is the trip for which I was awarded a Target Grant. We need a 1/3 adults to children ratio to be able to participate, so please consider joining us on this very worthwhile trip. It was brought to my attention yeaterday that the woman, Mona Purdy, who founded the charity, Share Your Soles, which we just supported with our fantastic shoe drive and donation, has lost everything in a fire. There is a website collecting donations for her in case you feel like helping her out since she has spent her life helping others.
Reading: This week we read and worked on activites with the novel, Ramona.; Age 8 by Beverly Clearly. Next week we will return to our text.
Language Arts: We continue to practice language/ phonics skills daily. Most everyone understands the skills. However not everyone uses them in their writing.
Math: We just began the new math chapter of probability. We will also continue to work on our multiplication facts until they are quick and automatic. Please help at home to also increase accurancy and speed in your child’s ability to memorize the facts. There will be a SS math quiz on Tuesday.
Social Studies: The President mobiles were all presented this week. I was pleased that everyone was able to learn about a particular persident and then share that information with their classmates. The mobiles looked great! In our text we are studying why people move and intermediate directions. The chapter 3 test will be on Wednesday or Thursday.
In Science we will be starting chapter 7; Forces That Shape Our Land. This includes landforms, weathering, erosion, floods, earthquakes, volcanoes.
Have a wonderful weekend!
