NEWS FROM 3A

WEEK OF OCTOBER 23, 2017

We emphasize the spiritual,
intellectual, and physical
development of each
individual.
This week will be hectic as we prepare for the Fall Foliage Festival. Our
booth is the fruit cup booth. All items will be provided for our booth. We
will need parents to volunteer to come early to chop the fruit. Please bring in one large bag of
candy by Thursday, October 26. Please attend the Home & School meeting on Wednes-
day, October 25 in order to get the most updated information regarding the Fall Foliage Festi-
val.
For the Halloween Parade of costumes on October 31, our costume theme is Viva Cultu-
ra! Our costumes are the nuns of Loretto and the La Sallian brothers of Cathedral. I will
send photos of them in the weekly e-mail so you can get an idea of what the costumes
might look like. If students do not have the theme costume, they should wear their regu-
lar uniform to school on Halloween.

MATH ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS

This week, students will work on
rounding numbers. They will also
be using estimation to help them determine if
their answer in addition or subtraction is rea-
sonable. Soon after that, they will be adding
and subtracting greater numbers. We will con-
tinue to compare numbers in order to attain
mastery. Please continue to practice their
basic addition and subtraction facts with them.
They will need to have a good grasp of these
facts in order to do well in adding and sub-
tracting greater numbers and for regrouping.
Tutoring for math is from 3:30-4:30 . Title I
tutoring is also available.
This week in Language, we
will work on pronouns and
their place in sentences. In
spelling, our unit is a review
unit, so there will be no dictation or spelling test. In
reading, we will begin the next unit: Inspired by the
Sea. We will r ead Sarah, Plain and Tall as well
other books relating to the sea. We will also have a
special art project: an oil pastel landscape of the de-
sert, the prairie or the sea. Please have students be
thinking about the book they will use for our first
book report in November. It must be a chapter book.
It can be a book that they have read previously, but
it must be a chapter book. Probe books continue to
be presented. Tutoring for reading begins on Tues-
days from 3:30-4:30. tu\\toring is also available.

HANDWRITING
Students will have extra practice on the letters that we have covered in our text-
book. They will also work on copying notes and poems from the board.
 SCIENCE-This week students will present their solar system projects.

RELIGION-This week students will learn the history of the rosary and
make their own rosary. They will have to say the prayers that go along
with the rosary as they put the rosary together. This weeks Word of the
Week is scholar-a specialist in a particular branch of study. This
Weeks Good News comes from Matthew 22:34-40.

SOCIAL STUDIES-This week students will learn about rural communities

and how these types of communities meet their needs and how the
people who live there entertain themselves.
