This week 3A has the Mass! I hope you can join us in God’s celebration.
Well it was a short week, but we did a lot of technology!!! Mrs. Z, our
media teacher, has allowed me to keep an LDC projector in my room. This has
allowed me to have much more access to educational games, websites, and
streaming videos. I love the enrichments and the kids do too! On Friday we
did Tumble Books in the computer lab as well as fun grammar games.
Mr. Torres and Mrs. Todd visited our classroom on Veteran’s Day and we are so
thankful for their service to our country.
The book fair is this week. Our class’s time slot is during their library
time on Tuesday. If they forget their money that day, they may purchase
items during the week.
There is a Dress Down Day this Thursday. Please have your child bring in a
$1.00 donation that will go towards the Raleigh Rescue Mission.
This week’s upcoming tests:
Thursday- Summary Reading test: The Cat Who Became A Poet

We are starting Ch 7 on telling time, reading timelines, and calculating

The Cat Who Became a Poet is a great fantasy with incorporates poetry. We

Please stress with your children that the vocab. foldables are graded. I
look for: correct spelling of the vocab. words, six-word sentences, correct
punctuation, neatness, correct definition, and part of speech, as well as the
sentences making sense while using the vocab. word correctly.

SS
3A saw a great clip describing government to how our school runs . We will

Government in SS. I will continue to use Discovery Education Streaming to
enrich this great subject matter. It is a paid educations website that has
great video clips and fun lessons.
