Reading- This week we will start reading a whole class novel, Stone Fox. If you have this book at home, please send it to school with your child. I do have several copies that the students will be sharing. Last week we read mysteries, and worked hard to try to solve them using our comprehension skills.
Social Studies- Last week the students learned about the different zones in a city. This information will be useful as we travel to Lebeda Mattress Factory for our field trip on May 22nd. At Lebeda the students will get to see how a mattress is made from start to finish. A small portion of the history of Marion was also shared with the class. Ask your third grader about the Swamp Fox or how Starry got it's name. In social studies we will begin our country reports. The students will choose a country to research. From this research the students will create a brochure and a poster of the country's flag.
Writing- We will use this time to work on the country reports that will be started in Social Studies. :)
Friday Night information- FMI Parent Group (Troops) will provide hot dogs and chips to celebrate the end of a wonderful year for FMI students and welcome the current 2nd and 3rd graders to their building in the fall. There will be activities such as basketball, four square, sidewalk chalk, and more. Please feel free to bring an activity you enjoy as well. At 6:00 there will be a 15 minute presentation by Mr. Murphy (the principal at FMI) in the gym. Please arrive on time. The 3rd and 4th grade teachers (including myself) will be available from 6:00 to 6:30. Please bring lawn chairs and/ or blankets and come to have a fun evening with your family and friends.
Upcoming this month:
5/21- 2nd and 3rd Graders from Emerson visit FMI- This is to assist in the transition to FMI. Included in this visit will be a short introduction from Mr. Mike Murphy, principal, and a tour of the building. We will be leaving to go over there at 10:00 am.
