Happy Thursday 3EO family! I hope you had a great week! We have been super busy in room 52 and the week just flew by! I am so excited to meet with you at parent teacher conferences tomorrow. If you cannot make it, I sure would appreciate it if you could let me know. Each conference is 15 minutes long and they are back to back. If you are late, I will do my best to squeeze you in but I need to make sure I stay on my schedule…I love to talk If you would like to reschedule, I am available after school next week on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I am so proud of the kids for earning their party for silent transitions! They loved wearing their jammies and having their stuffed animal with them! A few of them even mentioned that their stuffed animal helped them on their spelling tests I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Sincerely,Erin Olson

Weekly Recap & Looking AheadMath- We are still working hard on Unit 2! This unit is taking longer than I anticipated because of the multi-step word problems...they are hard!

We will take a test on Unit 2 the following week! (I will give you more details on that in the next newsletter-the day we take the test depends on how far we get next week)Writing-We have been working on publishing our personal narratives this week. We will finish publishing next week and focus our attention on the district’s writing assessment the following week.

their reading! We will continue thinking about our thinking about our thinking/metacognition next week! Spelling-We took our 3rd spelling test today! New words will be coming home on Monday!Science-We started our animal project this week and we are having a blast! The kids are creating a new animal with all different animals’ body parts. They are thinking hard about what it eats, it’s predators, it’s environment and what adaptations the animal needs to survive! Social Studies-We started our geography unit this week and will dive in deeper next week! We will be talking about latitude and longitude, landforms, hemispheres, and other map skills!
