Conference Information:
In the Friday Folder, last week you should have seen a slip of paper with your conference time for this trimester. This year we scheduled the second trimester conferences the same time that you had your conference during the first trimester. Please let me know if the time slot you have does not work for you so we can find a better time! You can either email me or call the office and they can reschedule for you!Service Learning
These past few weeks we have been working hard to finalize the details of a service learning project third grade will be doing this year at Beulah Ralph. Hopefully your child has shared some of our plans with you already but here are the details:
When: Friday, May 5 after school
What: third grade will be hosting a school wide fun run to benefit Make a Wish foundation. It will consist of several fun stations throughout the course and Kona Ice/food trucks at the end. We will also be selling t-shirts for admission. These t-shirts will also have business logos on the back for businesses to purchase an ad.
Who: The whole BEU community will be invited to participate in this fun run.
Why: To help raise 2500 dollars to sponsor a wish of a child here in Columbia
We are really looking forward to this event, but know we will need a lot of help and volunteers. I will be sharing more information at conference time, but we would love for you to put this date on your calendar now! Thanks!
Math:
In math, we are wrapping up our final multiplication unit. Please continue to have your child practice their multiplication facts at home daily. Again, it is essential that they have them memorized by the time they go to fourth grade. Even though we are finishing our multiplication unit, we will still be practicing our facts. Next we will be working on division!
Reading:
In reading we are continuing to study nonfiction books. This week we looked at how authors start and end their book to help us with our informational writing. We are also continuing to work on reading fluency, comprehension, and stamina.
Writing:
In writing, we finished up our informational writing pieces. The books the students made look so great! I am excited to show them to you at parent teacher conferences. Soon we will begin our persuasive writing unit!
Science:
This past week we were able to have a local meteorologist come and talk to us all about sever weather. This week students will be working on a severe weather project to wrap up our unit over weather!
