3rd grade Class
Mid way Point!
Once again, I can not believe how fast time is going. This Friday marks the mid point of the third quarter. It seems like the beginning of the school year just started. As always it is a honor to watch the students grow as thinkers. They are definitely working hard in class, as we continue to catch up.
Reading
Writing
We have moved on to a new unit in writing. Last week we started opinion writing by learning about persuasive speeches. As a class we wrote a speech to our librarian asking for new magazines in the library. This week the students are working on their own persuasive speeches about something they would like to change around our school. Next week we will take a break in opinion writing to discuss PASS Writing. Pass Writing will be March 18th and 19th, so I will begin discussing strategies and the language of the test.

SC History
The Antebellum Dolls turned out great! This week we will begin learning about the influence of Cotton in the South and how this led to the Civil War. Please ask your child what they are learning in SC History. This will allow them to continue to inquire outside of the classroom. Our discussions in SC History is always very interesting.
