Today (Tuesday) we enjoyed a visit from Barbara Joosse. She told students that being a writer comes from your imagination and your experiences. If you would like to know more about this author, please visit her website at http://www.barbarajoosse.com/
We are starting our study of bats. We have learned they are mammals, nocturnal, and don't actually suck a person's blood. (Many students were relieved!) Be asking your student about what they have learned. Some interesting websites for them to find out more information are:
This week's spelling paragraph is about bats. A homework sheet for this paragraph was sent home tonight (Tuesday).
Thursday, Lincoln will be visited by the Pacific Science Center. Third grade will be learning about sound, vibrations, and pitch. Please take time to ask your child about this learning experience. A big thank you to LEAP for bringing the traveling van to us.
In math, we are starting unit 3. This unit is about measurement. Please point out at home all the different ways you may use measuring: cooking, distance, sewing, etc.
A big thank you to Yokes Fresh Foods. They donated a $50 gift card to our third grade to use with our Food is Elementary program. THANK YOU!
Your child may have told you. My son, Alex, broke his shoulder Sunday in a hockey game. This required me to miss school on Monday to see a specialist. I am hopeful he will have a full recovery. This may require a few more days off to attend doctor appointments. I appreciate your patience and understanding.
