3rd Grade Events

3rd grade has been busy this month with many fun activities!

On October 6th, Firefighter Caleb Carson from the El Dorado Fire Department visited us to tell the 3rd graders what it's like to be a firefighter. He told us what his day is like, what he had to do to become a firefighter, and what it's like to be in a fire. He also showed us all the parts of his gear and even put everything on! The 3rd graders learned a lot about being a firefighter and asked some great questions.

October 8th was 3rd Grade Family Fun Night - "Batty About 3rd Grade." Parents and students came together to play multiplication Bingo, read a story about bats and answer questions, and make bats to hang on our display. We had a great night!!

Fabulous Fall Decorating

We had a great turnout for our first annual Fabulous Fall Decorating on Thursday, October 2nd. The third graders and their parents did an awesome job turning the corner of 4th and Main Street into a fantastic fall display!

M&M Arrays

We had a very tasty Friday! Students have been learning multiplication and how to group objects. Today we made edible arrays with M&M's! We made arrays using 20, 18, 15, 12, 9, 6, and 3 M&M's. The best part was eating them as we tried out new arrays! 

Snow Days

Due to the two snow days this week, we will NOT be having a spelling test on Thursday or Friday. Students will also not have spelling homework tonight. They will, however, still need to read for 15 minutes and work on math facts.

Don't forget - the Shrine Circus field trip is next Friday!! A note will be coming home with your student next week to remind you of the details.

Valentine boxes are due on Monday. Students can also start passing out valentines on Monday. All valentines need to be here by next Thursday. Valentine boxes will go home with students on Friday, February 14th.

50% of your child's AR goal was due on Wednesday. An updated AR letter will be coming home soon to let you and your child know where they are on their AR goal.

Talent Show

Don't forget: 3rd Grade Talent Show will be MONDAY, February 3rd!

Emily passed all of her multiplication facts on Wednesday. Way to go, Emily!!
