Dear parents,

I hope you all enjoyed your Eid break! It’s back to school and we have much to do before the winter break which is coming up fast.

On Thursday, November 17, 2011 we are holding our annual International Day afterschool from 6pm -9pm. If you wish to donate or attend the information and details are in the International Day letter which was sent home yesterday. Parents donating please read and submit the form on the back of the International Day letter.

All grade 3 classrooms have a field trip to the Scientific Center next week on Tuesday, November 22.  Students will receive a permission form tomorrow. Students who are planning to attend are required to return the signed form with the money by this Thursday, November 17. Please note that on this field trip students will not be allowed to purchase any food, drinks or shop at the store. The first two parent volunteers to notify me will be chosen to assist on the field trip.

This week:

Language ArtsSpelling: Words with the /oi/ sound.  Joyful, choice, voice, joint, moist, spoil, royal, annoy, noise, employ, soil, loyal, boiled, destroy, pointy.  Spelling Test is on Thursday, November 17.

Reading: “Turtle Bay” found in the zebra book on page 158-175.

Vocabulary: Found in context on pages 156-157 of the zebra book. There will be a Vocabulary quiz on Wednesday, November 16.

Writing:
We will be working on ideas: Can students find ways to describe and show emotions or ideas instead of simply telling the reader. We will also reinforce the structure of a proper sentence:  a clear idea or thought that makes sense, starts with a capital and ends with an end mark (?!.).

Math:
We will be reinforcing Addition Properties and working through problem solving and exploring Chapter 2 on addition.  We will review the basic concept of Multiplication and begin to memorize some facts.

Science:
This Quarter we have Science!  This week we will focus on: getting familiar with our Science textbook, vocabulary and the basics of ecosystems.

Sincerely,

Ms. Cartagena
