Monday, November 30th

Tomorrow is our field trip to St. Cloud.  We will be starting off at the Skatin' Place for roller skating.  We will then go on to the Paramount Theatre to see The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.

Please have your child wear boots, as we will be getting snow this evening.  Long socks are highly recommended to prevent roller skates from rubbing.  Students need to remember to pack their own lunches, and we are discouraging soda pop.  The children are welcome to bring a few extra dollars for buying treats/junk at the Skatin' Place.  Please note that the video arcade area will be off limits.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today was library day. The students will be coming home with several books to read over the weekend.  Please help to ensure that your child spends some time reading over the long weekend.

The Math assignment is PW37.

Have a happy Thanksgiving!

Monday, November 23rd

We have come to the end of our money unit.  The students quizzed today and did quite well.
We have now begun a time telling unit.  I encourage you to practice this skill with your child at home.

Homework tonight is a reading passage with 5 questions as well as an activity sheet for answering the who, what, why, where, how, etc.

Thursday

It's COLD!  Please be sure that your child is sent to school dressed for winter weather.  The children will be out for recess and will need a warm coat, hat, and mittens.
 
Tomorrow we will have our weekly assessments in reading class.  Our story of the week is Harvest Birds.   The grammar test will be on the use of commas.  Our spelling and phonics tests will cover the silent letter sounds in kn and wr.

Tuesday, November 17th

Tomorrow is library day!  Please make sure to have your two RC library books read by tomorrow so quizzes can be taken and books returned.

There is a spelling and grammar assignment for tonight:  Workbook p. 100 and p.101.

In math we are learning to make change.  All the children could use extra practice with this skill.

Parent Teacher Conferences

Pioneer Elementary will be having parent/teacher conferences tonight and tomorrow evening. Please call Shari if you are uncertain of your scheduled time.

We have completed our lessons on subtraction of 3 and 4-digit numbers.  Today we begin a money unit.  The math assignment is PW31.

The students have completed their first quarter of third grade.  We are focusing heavily on reading as much as possible.  Everyone has done a great job with reading for our Reading Counts program.  The students have each set a new goal for 2nd quarter and plan to work hard to meet it.

PIONEERS!

Tomorrow is Pioneer Pride Day. Please wear black and red. 

The Math skill that we are working on is on subtracting 3 and 4-digit numbers.  The assignment for today is on page 28  (1-19)

The reading assignment is workbook pages 85 and 90. 

We will not be testing on the story of the week or on the spelling words until next Tuesday, November 10th.    

Our story is: What Do Illustrators Do? 

Hope to see you at the football game Friday night.  

Go Pioneers!!!
