Dear Family,
November 18, 2019
Tomorrow we
have our class picture taken. If you would like a copy, they are $10.95. Checks
may be made out to Lifetouch. These must be purchased tomorrow morning.
Remember,
you can check grades on iNow. If you’ve misplaced your log-in information,
Sherri McClendon in the office can help you.
Our story
this week is A New Life for Mei. Vocabulary and spelling words came home
Friday. We will learn about adding -ed and -ing to words and review abstract
nouns. I love how the skills in Open Court spiral. It’s not a “once and done”!
In math, we
will learn to add two digit numbers; estimate when adding; drawing and
measuring to the half inch (if you don’t have a ruler at home with centimeters
and inches, you may need one); multiplying by 7; locating and naming points on
a number line; estimating capacity; and drawing a bar graph. We’ve been
discussing cups, pints, quarts, half-gallons, and gallons. This would be a
great conversation when you’re in the kitchen or grocery store! You’ll be surprised
how much they know!
Speaking of
surprises….. they’re learning to read cursive writing. Sooo, be aware of
writing surprises, etc. in cursive! And I’m sure you’ve already learned they
can understand anything you spell. (Moms, get a tissue. They are growing up.)
Possessives
are still a little tricky. We’re learning to find the hints in sentences to
decide whether a word is plural or not before we make it a possessive. Example:
“The many birds’ nests were full of twigs.” MANY lets us
know it’s more than one bird.
Our pom-pom
squad will not cheer December 3 due to the Christmas parade downtown. No
practice Dec. 2.
Our lunchroom
needs a head count for our feast Tuesday, November 26. Thank to those who sent
in money today or regretted.
Loving
and Teaching Yours, Miss Suzann

11.12.19 Newsletter
Dear Family,
November 12, 2019
Brrrrrrr!
Hello, winter! I’m sure you’ve heard the Veterans Day parade scheduled for this
evening has been cancelled due to weather. I saw beautiful pictures of our very
own Bailyn Brooks in the National Peanut Parade! Our Veterans Day program
Friday was spectacular. The flag retirement ceremony was very moving. Thank you
to Becky McPherson for the use of her flags we held when we sang.
Tomorrow we
will have pizza for lunch, courtesy of Katherine’s grandmother, to celebrate
Katherine’s birthday. No need to send a lunch.
A special thank you to Laney
Winkleblack for organizing our Operation Christ Child shoebox(es) project as
assigned to us by the SGA. Mindy Mogren, our Christmas angel, purchased the
goodies and we have TWO boxes. Please send money to reimburse Mindy.
We will
have our class picture taken a week from today, November 19. These are
purchased by PRE-ORDER only. If you want one, please send $10.95. We will wear
our nicest school uniforms.
We are
collecting cylindrical containers with lids to make drums at music. If you have
any to spare, send them all! Coffee cans and oatmeal canisters are great.
Our story this week is Einstein
Anderson and the Hurricane Hoax. Vocabulary and spelling words came home
Friday. The students are looking forward to the spelling this week as it is a
review list. We will also review possessives and contractions. We are trying so
hard to remember the word “apostrophe”.
In math, we
will learn to identify the perimeter of an object; subtracting a number from 10;
making a shape for a given perimeter; and constructing a number line. Continue
to work on addition facts and multiplying 10’s and 1’s.
Teaching and Loving Yours,
Miss

Dear Family,

This week
our story is Hot Enough to Fry an Egg.
We will continue working on homographs and pronouns. Remember to try to
use our vocabulary words in context at home.
In math we
will learn to multiply by 1 and by 10 (postponed from last Friday); estimating
and finding the capacity of containers (cup, pint, quart, half-gallon, gallon,
and liter); reading a thermometer to the nearest degree; identify the freezing
and boiling points of water; normal body temperature; estimating a reasonable
temperature; using comparison symbols for greater than, less than, and equals; and
identifying horizontal, vertical, and oblique lines and line segments.
This
Friday, November 8, third grade will sing in our Veterans Day program at 8:15
on the football field. We are to wear red, white, and blue... and look nice! We
don’t want to be sloppy looking for our veterans. An email was sent to all
families about this program.
December 5 is Lakeside’s Christmas
program. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend due to a prior engagement! I
have tickets for an event at the River Center. I know they will sing
beautifully. Miss Janice said I may attend the dress rehearsal.
$25 is due
this Friday for our field trip on December 12.
Congratulations
to Mason for winning the Red Ribbon poster contest! A special thank you to Miss
Michelle Helms and Miss Jenny Brooks for our Halloween party. John Collin
treated us with Halloween candy and Miss Amy Ammons did, too!
Teaching and Loving Yours,
Miss Suzann
