THE THREE HOOTS
CLASSROOM UPDATE
Learning in Third Grade
In science we have been learning about inherited and acquired traits. We have been exploring how traits are passed from parents to offspring. The students have been discovering inherited traits that they have: eye color, tongue rolling, dimples, hair color, skin color, etc.
Our informational writings are complete! Hooray! We will now move into a unit on poetry. We will be reading poems, writing poems, and memorizing poems.
Happy 103rd birthday to Beverly Cleary! Mrs. Cleary will be the focus of our next author study. We will read her book Ribsy. In this classic, Henry's pet dog, Ribsy, is living the adventure of his life. Ribsy loves Henry Huggins, chasing cars and causing trouble. Ribsy dislikes being left behind and bubble baths. This book is full of laughs and opportunities to build our fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension skills.
Spring Musical
Dear Parents,
You are cordially invited to attend the 3rd and 4th Grade Spring Musical, “Circus, Circus” The Circus is in town and there's excitement in the air! But wait, the Ringmaster has come down with a case of laryngitis and they need to find a substitute, fast! Join the clowns, acrobats, dancing bears, lions and a host of other hilarious performers in the Middle-High School Auditorium on Thursday, April 25 at 7:00 p.m.
Students should wear a bright solid-colored top with no writing on it (red, yellow, orange, green, blue, purple, pink or neon-colored) and black bottoms. Students playing characters in the show will have a costume provided for them or can wear one from home.
