This week's information:
Our class has been busily working on learning how to write short answer response questions. We read “The Riverbank” this week and completed a short answer response covering the information found in the book. This is a learning process for the children, but they are starting to understand how to restate the question and prove where they found the information in the book or passage.
In Math, the class took the Chapter 2 test. Percentages are on the test so you can see the quantity of information that your child understands of Chapter 2. I will continue to work with your child on the concepts that are a struggle. Please see the attached sheet to schedule a conference time. Conferences are October 25 and November 1.
Next Week:
Thornwilde Fall Festival is October 26 from 6-8. Hope you can come!
Fall Celebrations
· The fall celebrations will take place from 2-3 on the 26th
· Students may wear costumes but they cannot wear masks or face make-up. Props cannot be brought to school and students must be able to use the restroom independently
· Snacks need to be store bought and labeled so that we can ensure no peanuts/nuts or manufactured in peanut facility
· Parents cannot take their children when the celebration ends. They will need to go to the cafeteria if they want to pick up their child and follow parent pick up procedures
· Students who are not allowed to participate in celebrations due to religious beliefs will be provided with activities in the library.
· If you would like to help with the party please email me by Tuesday.
Thornwilde Dedication will be on October 22, 2012. The third graders will be performing a song at 5:50 in the lobby. Please bring your child to our classroom by 5:45 if you would like for them to participate in the Dedication Ceremony and ask them to wear school colors (red and gray).
Field Trip to Dinsmore House October 31, 2012
Please return permission form, $7.00, and your child’s lunch preference form ASAP. Remember to dress your child in layers and pack them a lunch in a disposable bag so we are not responsible for lunch boxes while on the trip.
