Good morning everyone. I hope everyone had a wonderful vacation and you are enjoying this last day of the break. I just returned from the Outer Banks and it was so beautiful down there. It was so great to get away for beach and sun. I can't wait to hear about all of the adventures the kids had over the break. It is hard to believe that we only have about 6 weeks of school left this year. Where did the time go?
In Wonders this week, we will be on Unit 6 week 1. This is our last unit for the year. The new spelling words are posted on the spelling page of this website. Please have the kids study for Friday. They are very tricky words. In math, we will continue our multiplication facts through Fast Math and begin unit 7. Measurement and review of operations will be the main focus. Each of the kids have been given a state to study. We will work on our state folders in class. the kids will be responsible for knowing all 50 capitals and certain things about the state they chose. At the end of the State Unit, the kids will decorate a box and have three items from their state in the box to share with everyone. I will send more information home at a later date. Items could include...a hat, a shirt, a book, a coin, a food item, a cd, pictures, a souvenir, or anything else from the state. Use your imagination and think "out of the box", no pun intended! In science, we will continue our animal unit and in social studies, we continue with the presidents. During the week of May 17-May 20, the kids will be taking the sate assessment test which we refer to as the SAS test. It will be new to the third graders and it is a very different kind of test than they are used to taking. We will have some practice sessions along the way. Our testing time will be each morning from 8:00 to 9:45. Please stress to the kids that it is very important that they try their best and do their best work. I know that they will. have the kids get a good nights rest and have them eat something before they come to school. I don't want the kids stressing out. I tell them to have fun with it and to do their best! Please do not forget to order hot lunch ahead of time. It makes it easier on Mrs. Smith. Don't forget to send in the pictures for the Wall of Heroes if anyone is participating. Remember there is no school on May 31st because of Memorial Day. I would like to wish all of the Moms in all of our third grade families a very Happy Mother's Day on Sunday of next week. Have a great week everyone. Comments are closed.

I Believe...Let the kids be kids. Every child has a strength. It is up to the teacher to find it or tap it so they can work to their highest potential. I tend to set the bar very high. Lifetime memories should be made in the classroom and at school. NBCS should be a place where kids enter happy and go home with a smile on their face. I want my kids getting up in the morning begging to go to school! Archives
