On Friday, September 26th we planted pumpkin, carrot, and sumflower seeds in Ziploc bags with a moist paper towel. We will be observing and recording the growth of our seeds for at least ten days. Future updates to follow.

Our first Science experiment was a huge success. We learned that moss is a simple plant. It has 3 parts: stem, leaf, and root like parts. They drew, colored and labeled the parts of moss. The best part was touching and looking at the moss they brought in.
On Friday, September 26th we will be doing another experiment. If anyone has any left over vegetable seeds, can you please have your child bring them in by Friday.
Math: We are finishing Chapter One on Place Value. Our test is on Friday, September 26th. Please review this chapter with your child. The pages are 30-62.
Beginning the week of September 29th we are going to be having Quick Quizzes on addition and subtraction facts once a week. Please review addition and subtraction facts daily with your child. This will help your child when we start to work on multiplication and division.
Religion:Test Friday, September 26th on Chapter 2 We Believe pgs. 32-40. Please review these pages with your child. They will come home on Thursday with a Review.
The Field Trip on Friday, September 19th was wonderful. Everyone had a good time.

I was so pleased to meet many of you at our first Home School Association Meeting. I hope I was able to address many of your questions or concerns.

Week of 08-Sep-2008
Look at what we're studying:
Math: In Math our first chapter concentrates on Place Value. We have been studying and learning how to write numbers in their standard, expanded and word form. Math can be difficult and hard for many students. Be patient. I will continue to review these areas daily.
Religion: Our first Religion test will be on Thursday, September 11th. We Believe Chapter 1 p. 20-28. I encourage you to study with your child and review the whole chapter using the questions at the end of each lesson as a review.
Social Studies: Our first Social Studies Test will be on Friday, September 12th. We will review in class but your child should study at home each night. The pages for the test are 10-26. Again I would recommend studying the entire chapter. Read each lesson and use the questions as a review.
Book Report: Your child's first book report theme is Stuffed Animal Research. The forms were sent home today. Please read through the information. Your child will need your guidance with this assignment. Please guide them, but remember it is their report. The report is due October 1st.
I know it can be stressful at the beginning of a school year. New teacher, homework policies etc. Please be patient. Your child will get into a routine and thrive as a Grade 3 student with my help and yours.
I am always looking for new ideas for Art projects and volunteers to read or do a holiday project. Please let me know if you are interested.
I am going to try to keep an updated web page either weekly or monthly. I look forward to meeting all of you tomorrow night, September 9th at our first Home School Meeting. Hopefully, I will be able to answer any or all questions or concerns you may have about Third Grade.
Welcome to Mrs. Soliwoda's Third Grade Class! I am looking forward to a wonderful year! Here are some procedures and facts about Grade 3...
I am looking forward to a great fun-filled year. At times it may seem stressful or a little nerve wracking with homework or projects; just give it a little time. Be supportive and helpful.
