Update for 10/24

       Dear Parents,


       This Friday we will be having both 3.1 and 3.2 math tests.  Please check your child's agenda and have him/her review three times on iReady math.  A review handout went home today - please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!


        We have started our Adaptations unit in Science and your student needs to watch the "Camouflage" and "Migration" videos and take the related quizzes on Brain Pop.  The students started presenting their animal poster projects today and did a fantastic job, both as presenters and as audience members!


       In Writing, we are revising our informational writing pieces and adding statistics, anecdotes, charts, graphs, and glossaries. 


        Today in Reading we had a wonderful visit from the Sandy Springs Education Force.  They read The Cello of Mr. O about a village in Sarajevo during the conflict of the 1990's and the students asked excellent questions, then worked on responding to the story with writing and pictures.  We also listened to Bach's Cello Suite Number 1 in G and they were even able to try out making music on a real cello!


        As always, thank you for all of your support!!


       Jenny M-G
