April Showers???

Where is spring?? We are ready to be outside running around! I will say the last two days the third graders have done an awesome job being flexible during indoor recess. 

May 4th: Green Up Day (Info in Friday Folders)
May 7th: Early Release Day 
May 10th: 3rd Grade Play at Morning Assembly
May 18th: ECHO Field Trip (Permission Slip coming home Friday)
May 15th/16th: Math SBAC


Fairy Tales: We have been very busy in third grade reading and writing fairy tales! We started by checking out some favorite fairy tales and then studying adaptations other authors have written. Now we are deep into writing our own adaptations. Ask your child which original fairy tale they are adapting.

Science: In science, we have been talking about characteristics of living things and adapting to different environments. We did a series of experiments during WIN time to see which type of bird beak would be best for different types of food! Ask your child which type of beak they thought would be best and what their evidence is!
