Unit Last week we enjoyed Mrs. Samiis visit as she shared her familys migration story. We are also enjoying the stories the students share. They learned so much from completing their family tree. Our Kreuzberg field trip is booked for June 15. We had some lefteover money from our Arendsee trip, so the cost of this trip is reduced for students who went to Arendsee. Our trip will include a visit to a mosque, a walking tour of the Krezberg area focusing on the influences of immigration (and including a baklava treat!), and end with a walk through the Turkish Market for lunch (each student should bring 3-5 Euros for lunch). Permission slips will come home this week. Please return this with the payment (lunch money should not be given in). Look out for interview questions for upcoming Voicethread migration project. Your child should identify a family member who has an interesting migration story to share and be ready to let us know the name on Friday. This is the last week for word study in third grade. When your child brings home their portfolio for the final time please look at their progress in the first 300 common words in English. By the end of 3rd grade they should be able to read and spell all of these words. All classes will be writing letters, some to authors. This week we continue to look at shape, review areas of difficulty, and introduce probability. We will be completing an end of unit assessment covering most number work.
