Well we have finished our Lewis and Clark project and if all goes well, I hope to have books of the project made for each student. Because our project is over, we will be back to our regular schedule of history Monday and Wednesday, science Tuesday and Thursday, and map skills and make up work Friday. I must say our project was fun and everyone did a great job, but I am glad to be back to a regular schedule!
The science fair was a great success and I was very impressed with the students’ hard work. Thank you parents for all the help and guidance you gave the students at home.
We have started a new book, The Magician’s Nephew. I have the book on tape and we will be listening to some of the chapters in school, however the students still need to read those chapters at home.

Dear Parents,
This week we will be finishing Mr. Popper’s Penguins. We will spend some time talking about the book and reviewing for a reading comprehension test next week. A study guide will be sent home some time this week, but if you want to begin helping your child prepare for the test ask them to tell you the story or to tell you about the different characters. Our next book is The Magician’s Nephew, by C.S. Lewis. We will be starting that next week. I have recently found a copy of the story on cassette, and if I can find a boom box with a working tape deck, I would like to listen to a chapter a week in class. This would leave only one chapter a week to be read at home.
We will be taking a break from our history and science books this week to work on a special Lewis and Clark Unit. Together we are making an ABC book of Lewis and Clark’s Expedition. Each letter relates to an aspect of the journey. Every student has three letters that they need to write about and draw pictures for. Ask your student what their letters are and how the project is going. We will also be working on our science project written reports, but please remember that the posters need to be done at home. They are due next week on Thursday, November 13.
The students have been assigned their poem for November. Please help remind them to be reviewing and memorizing their poem every day.

Because of the short week, please be aware that some of the homework may be different then usual. We will be finishing up our first unit of English this week and will have a test next week. I will send home a review sheet soon.
Our writing skills continue to improve and I am very pleased with the students’ progress. I am sending home another worksheet this week that will need to filled out at home. This time we are writing saints, particularly the saint your student plans to dress as for the annual All Saints Day Party. Please help your child to find the information and to fill out the worksheet. It should be returned next Tuesday, October 21.
We are half way through our science unit on plants. It is perfect timing, as the plants in our garden have really begun to take off. If you have a chance to come by and see our garden, please do. Remember that studying a little each night from the science study guide will help your child be prepared for the unit test.
In history we have finished our study of the American Revolutionary War and have begun to learn about our country’s constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the branches of government.
In religion we will begin to talk about the 10 Commandments. Our study of the 10 Commandments will last us almost until Christmas. At that point there will be a final test and the students are expected to have memorized the 10 Commandments. We will continue with our weekly quizzes. Please remember that your student has a study guide and should be reviewing the information they have filled in on it each night.

This week in 3rd grade we will:
In grammar, G.U.M., we are learning about prepositions and prepositional phrases. The students will have to know their prepositions in order to identify prepositional phrases in sentences. To this end I will be sending home a list of prepositions and requiring the students to memorize a set each week.
In science we will continue our study of insects. We will conclude unit 2 this week and will spend time reviewing all that we have learned. Be sure that your child is reviewing their science study guide, the test will be next Tuesday, September 30.
In history we are continuing to read and learn about the Revolutionary War. Everyone did very well on their history test last week, which made me very happy. We are continuing on with the Revolutionary War this week and will finish unit 1 next week.
In religion we will be learning about discussing the Fall, angels, and God’s saving grace.
The students need to begin reading chapters 5 and 6 of Mr. Popper’s Penguins and complete the assigned worksheet found in their yellow folder.
