We are planning a field trip in early January. The date isn’t definite yet. If you think you would possibly like to chaperone, you must have an i-Chat form filled out with the office. If you are unsure if you have a form filled out in the office, I can check or you can ask in the office. Once the date of the field trip is set, I will let you know and permission slips will go home.

Students will be taking the mid module assessment on Thursday. We started working on the study guide in class yesterday and will continue to on it today and tomorrow.

Dear Parents,

On Friday, December 20 students will be completing a winter craft.  Students need to bring in one long, plain, clean (preferably new) white sock.  The sock should be child or adult sized and long. Please do not bring in ankle socks.  

For our craft we also would appreciate donations of bags of rice.  

Please bring in the sock and any donations of rice by Monday December 16.

Thank you,

Third Grade Teachers

الآباء الأعزاء،

لحرفتنا نحن نقدر أيضًا التبرعات بأكياس الأرز

يرجى إحضار الجورب وأي تبرعات من الأرز بحلول يوم الاثنين الموافق 16 ديسمبر.

شكرا جزيلا،

معلمو الصف الثالث

Some fun things planned at Geer Park for the rest of December.

Today students were shown a new website called Exact Path. This is from the same company as Study Island. It is aligned to their NWEA scores. There is reading, language and math. This site is an excellent way for the students to improve their skills in these subject areas.

Students will be taking the end of unit social studies test on Friday. The study guides went home today. They need to complete the front of the study guide at home tonight for homework. We will continue to review in class.

Our focus with this spelling list is the long e sound. We also have two math content words. The spelling test will be on Wednesday.

1. honey
2. queens
3. freedom
4. even
5. hungry
6. pieces
7. leave
8. screamed
9. minute
10. hour

Since parent teacher conferences for tonight were cancelled, there will be another night next week. I will be in contact later this week with parents who were scheduled for today. I also have a few times available during Thursday evening’s conferences. If you would like to reschedule for Thursday, please email me at donoghk@dearbornschools.org, send a note in with your child, or message me on Remind. Thanks.

We will be working on present, past, and future tense verbs this week.
