Book Clubs will be ending this week. Our last day for Book Clubs will be Friday, May 24th. Your child will have his or her last assignment today. Your child will finish his/her Book Club book by Friday, May 24th. However, if any groups finished his/her books on Monday, those students will not receive new books for Book Clubs and will NOT have any new assignments. I appreciate your help with Book Clubs throughout the last quarter, such as listening to your child read, helping your child monitor his/her comprehension, or making sure the assignments have been completed. Your child's success with Book Clubs is an indication of help from you at home. Thank you!
Our May field trip is just next week. We are planning our last field trip on Friday, May 31st. We are planning on traveling to the National Eagle Center and Lark Toys. The National Eagle Center is located in Wabasha, Minnesota and Lark Toys is located in Kellogg, Minnesota. We plan on leaving early that morning (around 7:45 AM) and returning around 3:45 PM. Last week I stated I would send the field trip forms home. However, once talking to the other 3rd grade teachers, we decided to wait until this week to send the forms home. THERE WILL BE FORMS THAT WILL NEED TO BE FILLED OUT AND RETURNED LATER THIS WEEK! Thanks!
For those students that read all of the calendars for the Pizza Hut Book It program, they will be rewarded on Friday! Woot, woot! In years past, we have had a classroom pizza party. Due to the changes to our food program, we are unable to have a pizza party. However, we will celebrate with a "Dinner and a Movie." Your child will eat lunch in the classroom with me as we watch a short movie during that time. I will supply a dessert that would follow the guidelines of our food program. Thanks!
For the remainder of the year in math, your child is going to be working on mastering the multiplication fact families from 0-10. My suggestion is to practice each of these fact families at home. My suggestion to help your child learn the facts would be starting with fact families in the following order: 1, 2, 10, 5, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Last week, your child started testing over the multiplication facts. We have several students who are starting on their 5s already this week! Once your child masters each fact family with 100% accuracy, he/she will move onto the next fact family. Your child only has 2 minutes to complete 25 math facts. Your child will need to practice the facts to do well. He/she only has about 5 seconds to answer each problem, so practicing is a MUST! Thanks for the help! Please contact me with any questions.
Lastly, tomorrow your child will be bringing home several print-outs of different tests that he/she has taken. Your child will be receiving results from Iowa Testing (formerly known as Iowa Tests of Basic Skills), MISIC/MAPS, and DIBELS. PLEASE LOOK IN YOUR CHILD'S FOLDER FOR THESE SHEETS. THEY WILL BE STAPLED IN A PACKET. I will be going over the information with your child before sending the packet home, but feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you!
Have a fabulous week! Please contact me with any questions or concern!
Thanks,
Mrs. McCarville
