NEWS FROM 3A

WEEK OF MARCH 4, 2019

We emphasize the spiritual,
intellectual, and physical
development of each
individual.
Thank you, parents, for helping the students with their sci-
ence fair projects! The judges were impressed and helped
with suggestions to improve the science fair for next year. Next up, the speech
festival!
Due to the business of last week, students did not receive their speech materi-
als. However, they will receive them on Monday. Tryouts for pantomime and
prose, will take place on Monday, March 11. Once students have their pieces,
they should start to memorize them immediately so that we can add move-
ments. Choral readers should memorize the entire poem. More information
will be forthcoming.

MATH ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS

Students will work on time and
money this week. We will contin-
ue working on the next set of multiplication
tables: the 6’s. Students will have the oppor-
tunity to practice the 6 times tables through
the use of wrap arounds, flash cards and cen-
ters. We will begin working on division on
Fridays.
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 unit is a review unit.
There will not be a Dictation or Spelling Test
this week. We will continue to work on writ-
ing and research skills. In reading, students
will work on key questions in biographies.
We will look at biographies of Benjamin
Franklin, Thomas Edison and Elizabeth Cady
Stanton. Students will also work on reading
informative selections. Students will be se-
lecting their president for their next probe
book. Probe books will be due on Friday,
March 22. 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 tempted-convince
someone to do or get something they know is wrong. This
Week’s Good News comes from Luke 6:45.
SOCIAL STUDIES-This week students will learn about people in commu-
nities, who they are and how they got there. This is to include im-
migrants 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 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.
We are also collecting soda pop tops. Please send those in when you
have the opportunity.
