May Reading Logs
May reading logs went home this week. All students should be reading 100 minutes a week at home. Thanks for all of your help at home!
Field Trip
Our field trip to Wickiup Outdoor Learning Center in Toddville is coming up on Tuesday, May 9. We will leave the Intermediate Building at approximately 9:30 and arrive at Wickiup at 9:45. We will leave Wickiup at 1:30 and return to school around 1:45.
Our programs include: "Habitat Hike", "Moving West", "Wetland Investigations", and "Fuzzy, Furry, Slimy and Scaly". Because of the amount of walking involved, please do not bring your younger children with you for this trip.
If you are concerned about insect and sun exposure, please apply bug spray and sunscreen at home. If you want your child to reapply sunscreen on themselves at lunchtime, send the bottle with them.
The program guide is attached to this email. Please look for our specific scheduled programs if you would like a preview of our experiences!
Sincerely,
The Third Grade Teachers

Reading
We finished reading The Albertosaurus Mystery this week. Students worked on using evidence from the text to draw conclusions. They also showed their thinking while reading by making annotations to the story as well.
We began reading The Southwst for Interactive Read Aloud. This is an informational text about the Southwest region of the United States. There is a lot of great information about the history and culture of this region.
