NEWS FROM 3A WEEK OF MARCH 25, 2019 Thank you, parents, for your help in making the bazaar a success! Your prompt action on donations and your willingness to take time out to work in the booth really made it run smoothly. I really did appreciate everything that everyone did! God Bless you! We emphasize the spiritual, intellectual, and physical development of each individual.

This week is the Speech Festival. Students have already received their permission slips. Please be sure to sign them and return them ASAP. Students should NOT WEAR UNIFORMS to the event. Sunday Best is required. Please continue to practice with them. Their pieces should be completely memorized by Tuesday, March 26.

MATH

ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS

Students will work on the last group of multiplication tables 7’s, 8’s, 9’s, 11’s and 12’s. We will work on basic division using the times tables we already know. The next test will be this Friday over the 11’s. Students will have the opportunity to practice their times tables through the use of wrap arounds, flash cards and centers. We will also cover money, time, fractions and geometry. Please practice all of the multiplication tables with them. They will need them for division and for fourth grade. Tutoring for math is available on Mondays from 3:30-4:30.

This week’s spelling unit has words with double consonants plus y. The regular Dictation Test and Spelling Test schedule will resume. We will continue to work on writing and research skills. In reading, students will begin a new unit on the preamble and presidents. Students will also work on reading informative selections. Students will be selecting their president for their next probe book. They have information that they will be required to include in their probe this time around. Probe books will be due on Friday, April 5. Tutoring for reading is available on Tuesdays from 3:30-4:30.

HANDWRITING ALL needs to be done in cursive. Students may use pen for their dictation and spelling tests. We will continue to practice forming letters in cursive during class.

SCIENCE-Students will identify building blocks of the universe and locate information from the periodic table of elements.

RELIGION-This week students will learn about celebrating the Sacraments. This week’s Word of the Week is squandered-waste something in a reckless or foolish manner. This Week’s Good News comes from Luke 15:13. SOCIAL STUDIES-This week students will learn about people in communities, who they are and how they got there. This is to include immigrants and their influence on communities. We will continue our work on map skills as well.

REMINDERS The only drop off is on Stanton Street. The Arizona parking lot is not a drop off. Parents need to park and walk students to the school at the crosswalk if they are using the parking lot. The lot behind the gym and the church is also not to be used to drop off students. Thank you, in advance, for your cooperation! We are collecting Price’s bottle caps and Box Tops for Education. Please help us out by sending these items in when you purchase milk or other products with box tops for education. We are also collecting soda pop tops. Please send those in when you have the opportunity.
