Week of June 1-3, 2009 - LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL!

REMEMBER:

• Wednesday, June 3 is a half day and there is NO extended care available. All students are to be picked up at 11:30 a.m. therefore a lunch will not be needed.

Monday 6/1/09

• Math 3: This morning we took our last math test and are officially done with third grade math! I strongly enourage students to study DAILY the multiplication and division fact cards that I sent home last month. This will help you stay smart and begin fourth grade with a solid knowledge of your fact families.
• Language Arts 3/4: We held our last spelling bee of the year today. CONGRATULATIONS to Ryan for earning the title of Third Grade Champ, and Alina the title of Fourth Grade Champ! The showdown for Class Grand Champion was a close call but Alina managed to snag the title with the word "threw." Keep spelling and vocabulary a part of your daily life this summer! Don't forget fourth grade book reports are due TOMORROW! I look forward to hearing about the books.
• Religion 3/4: We watched a video about the apostle Paul's missionary journeys.
• Science 3/4: I was very disappointed to find that only three students turned in a completed chapter review this morning. We had already completed about a third of it in class on Friday afternoon, and the rest was assigned for homework. The consequence for the three who DID do the assignment was that they didn't have to take the test, and were granted a free 100%. The others still had to take the test, and are still expected to turn in the chapter review. If any student does not turn in the completed chapter review tomorrow, I have no choice but to record a zero for the assignment. Again, the assignment is on page 168-169: do all of #1-25, pick two from #26-30, and pick one from #31-32.
