Dear Families,
A Happy Halloween
wish to all of you. Tonight certainly
sounds trick-or-treat-fun-filled… lots of good times and delicious candy too.
Don’t forget the Portsmouth Parade tomorrow night as well…! The kids will have a lot to write about
after their trick or treating experiences, no doubt!
The Grade 3 fall festival was a good time
and certainly a nice break from all of the classroom work. We rotated through a
variety of activities… Get the scoop from your kiddo!. And of course a big thank
you to the families who were able to provide contributions for
this grade level activity… and to those moms who were able to come in and volunteer. We appreciate all the support.
Our class took Unit 2 math
assessment on Wednesday and on Thursday students made
corrections as needed while reflecting on their skills. This test will be placed into student
portfolios and come home with the report card in early December.
We
have begun our studies of the Human Body,
and the Digestive System specifically. It has been an interesting few days
with observation and inquiry… as we study the parts of the mouth and discuss how
the parts interact and function.
Be sure to ask your kiddo about how these parts, including your nose, work
together.
