Dear Parents/Guardians and Students, We are so proud of all of our students for completing the New York State ELA exam. The students have been practicing and working so hard throughout the year! Our math exam is the beginning of this month from May 2 to May 4. Please read our test-taking promises below and remember to be on time for school! This month we have some important events coming up. Third Grade started Studio in a School. This is a program that teaches students about healthy living through the arts. Please let us know immediately if your child has any food allergies. Also, we are going on field trips to the Queens Zoo and Pizzeria Uno. Please send in a signed permission slip and $10 for the trips. Thank you! Sincerely, The Third Grade Teachers: Mrs. Librizzi and Ms. Amin (3-318) Mrs. Long (3-314) Mrs. Weinberg (3-327) Mrs. Ramirez (3-402)
BOOK OF THE MONTH
Dear Mrs. LaRue: Letters from Obedience School by Mark Teague Character Trait: Responsibility This is a book full of funny letters written by a clever dog who is trying to persuade his owner to let him come home from obedience school. He tries to depict his situation to be a lot worse than what it really is!
MAY DATES:
May 2-4- NYS Math Exam May 17- Field Day for Grades 3-5 and Prepare for the Future Night and Pajama Story Night! May 19- Queens Zoo Trip May 29- Memorial Day (No School)
MONTHLY TOPICS Reading/Writing: This month we are continuing to read the story called Brave Girl. This story is about a girl, Clara, who stands up for women's rights because they are being treated unfairly as workers in the factories. We are identifying the character's feelings, traits, motivations and how her actions impacted history. Students will be able to make comparisons about Clara to what they have learned about Rosa Parks. Math: During this month, we will be learning about telling time and measuring different lengths. We will be using clocks to identify the time and how much time has passed. We will be using rulers to measure. Also, we will learn how to estimate and then find the volume of a liquid and mass of an object using different materials.
