Today is the 14th anniversary of 9/11. I will be discussing it using a book called Fireboat. It’s an inspiring, true story about the John J. Harvey fireboat, used to put out the fires in NYC on 9/11 since all the fire hydrants were broken!
We are finishing up our MAP testing today (Math) and it was so nice having the children take the tests on their own chromebooks. I am impressed that they are remembering to charge them up every night and return with them every morning. Great job 3rd grade!
Coming up this week:
Spelling: We are starting a brand new spelling series this year called Words Their Way. Well, new to us, not new to our 3rd graders!! We’ll be starting our “sorts” on Monday. Watch out for a homework menu coming home Monday!
Reading & Language Arts: We are continuing our first unit of study, “Tales as Old as Time.” This will cover folk tales, fairy tales, myths, legends, tall tales, and fables. We read Mulan for the first time and will be “digging deeper” this week. We’ll then read The Mysterious Giant of Barletta. Daily 5 stations have also begun. 
Social Studies: We’ll continue our unit with continents and oceans. The quiz on this information will be on Tuesday, 9/22. Watch out for a study guide!!
Science: Coming soon!!
Mrs. Klacza's Math Class: We’ll continue with addition and subtraction this week. There is a checkpoint quiz today. On Thursday, there will be a work sample assessment.
Important Dates:
9/14 - Magazine Drive kick-off
9/24 - Early Dismissal (11:00)
9/25 - Johnny Appleseed’s birthday celebration (letter home coming soon!)
Have a great weekend!
