Gregg's - The Buzz
What's Happening in Our Hive
This newsletter is intended to let families know what third graders are working on in class and how third grade classrooms are participating in school-wide events. Please make sure you are still checking your student's red folder every night for important communications from the PTO, school administration, or central office.
This Week in Third Grade...
Mathematics- This week we continue studying place value, rounding, and patterns in our number system, so that we may use our deeper understanding of numbers to begin developing more efficient strategies for addition and subtraction. This piece of our third math unit may last through to the other side of winter break.
Social Studies- Our Civics and Government unit will be wrapping up in the next week or so.
Winter Events
Holiday Meal and Concert
Winter Dance
The Winter Dance will take place in February for Valentine's day. There were several scheduling conflicts which kept us from having the dance before winter break.
Class Celebrations
Third grade classrooms will be hosting celebrations from around the world on Friday, December 15. Each classroom will present the winter traditions from a different country or culture and students will move from class to class. We will be asking families to help provide traditional snacks, supervise crafting, and help students move from class to class. A sign-up sheet and more information will be shared early next week.
