NEWS FROM 3A

WEEK OF FEBRUARY 25, 2019

We emphasize the spiritual,
intellectual, and physical
development of each
individual.
Students should try to have their science fair projects
completed and turned in by Wednesday, February 27.
This is so that they can present their project to the class and we can tweak it
for the judges.
Our next big event is the St. Patrick’s Day Kermess. Our booth is the nachos
and hot Cheetos booth. We will need to decorate the booth as well as people to
volunteer to man the booth. I will get back to you when I know more about the
details. I will be putting up a sign-up sheet for the booth the first week of
March, so, be on the lookout for it outside the classroom.

MATH ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS

Students will work on subtracting
across zeroes. We will continue
working on the next set of multiplication ta-
bles: 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 are single-syllable
homophones. Students should receive their
materials for the upcoming Speech Festival.
Please help them to memorize and practice
their piece. 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. 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 assess their knowledge of
Unit 2 and begin learning about celebrating the Sacraments.
This week’s Word of the Week is goodness-the quality of being
morally good or virtuous. This Week’s Good News comes from
Luke 6:45.
SOCIAL STUDIES-This week students will learn about people in
communities, who they are and how they got there. This is to in-
clude immigrants 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

We are also collecting soda pop tops. Please send those in when you
have the opportunity.
