Miss Colucci's Third Grade Class

As this school year is wrapping up, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of the wonderful parents of Team 42 for their continuous dedication. You have all made this school year a huge success, whether you attended one of our celebrations, did crafts with the class, or just came in to read a book! You are all wonderful role models to the students, and they truly enjoyed your visits. I hope you have a fantastic summer, and hope to see you all next year!

Here is an outline of each subject for the remainder of the year:


READING
We will begin Unit 6 titled Freedom! With Memorial Day and the Fourth of July soon approaching, the stories in the unit fit perfectly! Make sure you re-read the stories at home to prepare for the weekly comprehension and vocabulary test each Friday. Remember, you can always explore more about our stories online at PearsonSuccessNet.com.

GRAMMAR/WRITING
We will continue with persuasive and narrative writing. We also will finish up our penpal letters in preparation for our penpal picnic in June! Also we will continue learning how to make our writing "spicy"!

SPELLING
New spelling words will be given out at the beginning of each week. Make sure to study these words each night to prepare for the test on Friday.

MATH
Our current chapter in on Time and Temperature. We will finish up the year with chapters on measurement and long division!

SOCIAL STUDIES
Our theme this year will be Communities. We will learn about who and what makes up a community, and ways that they have changed over the years. We will also keep up with current events in our country and world.

SCIENCE

HEALTH
Throughout the year we will learn how to have good character by following the Character Counts program. Be sure to show good character each day!

PENMANSHIP
This year we have been learning all our cursive letters and their connections in words. Continue to practice your letters each day to make sure your cursive is nice and neat!

PARENTS
Please remember to review your child's homework assignment book and folder each night. This is the best way to keep on top of assignments, tests, and projects. PLEASE sign the book when your child has completed all of his or her homework.

You can help your child be more successful by helping them keep their folders organized, pencils sharpened, and schoolbags packed with their books and supplies for the next day. Most importantly, just talk to your child and ask them about their day! These little things you do make a difference. Thanks so much for your continued support!
