NEWS FROM 3A

WEEK OF OCTOBER 15, 2018

We emphasize the spiritual,
intellectual, and physical
development of each
individual.
This Sunday is Mass and Menudo. Come enjoy delicious
menudo and sweet bread after all Masses or until we are sold
out!
Fall Foliage tickets are on sale. You can purchase 25 tickets for $20 in the office.
This deal is good only until Thursday, October 18.
Don’t forget to sign up for a shift at the Fall Foliage Festival! The sign-up sheet is

Parent/Teacher conferences are coming up next week. There will be a sign-up sheet
outside the classroom starting on Tuesday, October 16. If you are unable to make it,
please set up a conference during my conference time M-F 12:00-12:30

MATH ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS

Students will work on place value
to include numbers to the hun-
dred thousands. We will emphasize the 5
times tables through flash cards, wrap arounds
and games. There will be a quiz on the 5’s at
the end of the week. Please practice the five
times tables from 0-12 this week.
Please practice their basic addition and sub-
traction facts with them. They will need to
have a good grasp of these facts in order to do
well in adding and subtracting greater num-
bers and regrouping. Tutoring for math is
available on Mondays from 3:30-4:30.
This week’s spelling words are words with
the sound of long a spelled ai and ay. In lan-
guage, we will focus on verbs, complete sen-
tences and kinds of sentences, proofreading
and writing. In reading, students will be read-
ing the story Stories Julian Tells to look at
character in the theme of stories that are
handed down. They will compare and con-
trast characters from different stories, as
well. They will also be given their probe
book assignment this week. Tutoring for
reading is available on Tuesdays from 3:30-
4:30.

HANDWRITING
I will be writing all lessons in cursive starting this week. Students who feel comfortable with cur-
sive may do all assignments in cursive. Those who are not may write in manuscript and practice
cursive until they feel comfortable. All students should be writing in cursive when we return from
Christmas break.
 SCIENCE-This week students will assess what we have learned
about the sun and the moon. We will set up Moon Stations in
which students rotate to different stations doing different activities
about the moon.
RELIGION-Students will learn about the history of the rosary
as well as different sightings of Mary. This week’s Word of the
Week is ransom-a sum of money or other payment demanded
or paid for the release of a prisoner. This Week’s Good News
comes from Mark 10:35-45.
SOCIAL STUDIES-This week students will learn about the geog-
raphy and history of different communities starting with El Paso
and continuing with Astoria, Oregon and Timbuktu, Africa and
compare them. They will also be learning about the compass in map
skills.

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 ad-
vance, 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.
