Third grade 2nd Semester
What's happening?
Daily News
Hello! Welcome to the 2nd edition of our classroom news. Some reminders:
- Please send a snack for your child. We enjoy our snack around 9:45 a.m.
- In cold weather PLEASE send your child to school in warm clothes and snow pants, boots, gloves and hats so they can play outside in the snow.
- Thank you to parents who let me know in advance if your student will be missing school - this really helps me in planning.
Each week we try to have a "Student of the Week". This was a short week, so we didn't have one. Next week we will!

In Math we will be taking the unit test on Multiplication, Division, Area, Perimeter and Pictographs.
The Lightening Bolts
Our classroom has one Battle of the Books team, named the Lightening Bolts. They have been very busy reading their books and getting ready for the battle. They meet during lunch to discuss the books.
The Alcoa Eagles
The students are very excited about checking on the eagles twice a week (Mondays and Fridays) at school but you can watch the eagles live at http://www.alcoa.com/locations/usa_davenport/en/info_page/eaglecam.asp They may be interesting to watch at night. In February they should be laying their eggs, and we will be able to watch as they eggs hatch and the eaglets grow.
