Mrs. Skeen’s 3rd Grade Class

Welcome to our classroom blog!

Week of November 11-15

This week in reading we will be focussing on narrative nonfiction books. The books we have chosen are books about Pilgrims and the Mayflower. Towards the end of the week, students will be comparing two of the books using a Venn Diagram.

Spelling Words- Last week we worked on Prefixes and how we add those to the beginning of a root word. This week, we have introduced Suffixes. They will be using these in their writing and doing activities with them during stations.

In Social Studies we are learning about the Government and the three branches. Students are creating a Google Slides Presentation, that will be posted to their blog once they are finished.

Monday, a letter went home about conferences. Please read the letter and return it no later than Wednesday, November 13. Mrs. Hamrick and I will be conducting conferences next week on Tuesday, November 19. If you would prefer a phone call or an email please make sure you list that on the sheet.

Thursday, November 14, all fundraiser products will be here. Please make sure you arrange to pick those up if needed.

Friday, November 15, for those students that sold 15 or more items, the fundraiser party bus will be takin those students to Chick Fila in Longview.

Next Thursday, November 21, at 10:45, Mrs. Hamrick’s class and my class will be preforming a Thanksgiving play. We would love for you to join us. The students have been working very hard to memorize their part. Please help them build up their confidence at home and we will work on our part at school, too.

 

Thank you for all that you do at home. We are a good team!
