APRIL 2016
The end of the year is quickly approaching and we have many events scheduled. STAAR Math test will be on May 10th^.. The STAAR Reading test is on May 11th. The filed trip to Perot Museum is scheduled for April 22nd at 9:30.  The third grade awards and end of year party are scheduled for May 27th.  Awards start at 8:30 and the party will be immediately following the awards. 

In math, please continue to work with your students on multiplication and division facts.  Measurement is another fun topic that you can help your student with.  You can help them learn by letting them help you tell time, find out what the temperature will be for the day, or even grocery shop and cook!

In science we are learning all about the changes our earth goes through due to weathering and erosion.  We have learned about different landforms.  The students will be making volcanoes at home and we will be erupting those in class.  We will be learning about tsunamis and tornadoes next!

In 3rd grade reading, we have been working very hard on our reading strategies. We are getting stronger and stronger with each and every TEKS objective. We have been focusing on objectives such as inferencing, reading comprehension, author's purpose, main idea, and summary. Our 3rd graders’ writing skills are pretty awesome! Those 4th grade teachers are going to be so excited when they see what wonderful writers they are getting next year! The STAAR test is coming up in just a few weeks. Reading tutoring will be starting after spring break and we will send letters home about  the days and times. We are going to do great on that test!
