NEWS FROM 3A

WEEK OF FEBRUARY 4, 2019

Wow! What a busy week we had last week. Thank you
for all of your donations and participation in all of the
events. And, of course, thank you for supporting Catholic education.
February is a short month, but it’s packed with things to do! The Planet Pro-
ject is due on Friday, February 8. Students need to perform their science fair
We emphasize the spiritual, experiment and document it on their science board. The Science Fair is on Fri-
intellectual, and physical day, March 1. Be on the lookout for a flyer with the proper format for setting
development of each up their boards. Students will be receiving their materials for the upcoming
individual. Speech Festival in the next few days. Fortunately, we will be able to take eve-
ryone in our class who wants to participate and is willing to memorize their
piece in a timely manner.

MATH ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS

Students will add and subtract
greater numbers with and without
regrouping. We will continue working on the
next set of multiplication tables: the 4’s. Stu-
dents will have the opportunity to practice the
4 times tables through the use of wrap
arounds, flash cards and centers. 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 words with r-
controlled vowels using the letters or, ore, ar
and oar. In language, we will focus on pro-
nouns, adjectives and adverbs as well as
learn where different parts of speech are po-
sitioned in the English language. We will
continue to work on writing and research
skills. In reading, students will work on key
questions in biographies. We will look at bi-
ographies of Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Ed-
ison and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Students
will also work on reading informative selec-
tions. 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 the characteristics of meteors,
meteoroids and meteorites. Students have completed their re-
search for their planet project. They will now be completing it at
home. Due date for this project is February 8. Students should
know what their science project is by this time.
RELIGION-This week students will complete the chapter
about belonging to a parish. This week’s Word of the Week is
astonishment-great surprise. This Week’s Good News comes
from Luke 5:8-9.
SOCIAL STUDIES-This week students will learn about different
kinds of communities: urban, suburban and rural. They will also
be learning about different kinds of maps (product maps, high-
way maps).

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!
