12/13/2018 Third Grade

12/13/2018

Dear Families,
We have had a very productive week!  Here is an update:

Reading:  We have started our non fiction unit.  Students are learning to identify features of non fiction texts.  Students are learning how to read texts in order to learn about a topic.

Writing:  We have finished our personal narratives!  Students have shared their work with a partner and will be taking those home this week.  All learners should be proud of their first published writing pieces!

Important Dates:
12/24-1/1  Winter Break
1/18 Early Release Day
1/21 No School
