3rd Grade Writing
Families and Students of the 3rd Grade,
We have now begun the process of working on our research reports. All students in the 3rd grade are currently researching "monkeys." However, students have chosen specific topics that they are interested in digging further into. Therefore, the research papers will vary on their contents. Many students asked if it would be alright for them to do some of their research at home. I strongly encourage students to work both at home and at school on their project. We have not yet gone over the note-taking process, but we will do so within the next week. Also, we will be discussing plagiarism (how to make sure we're not doing it) in the next week as well.
I look forward to learning more about monkeys from the students' work!
Sincerely,
Miss Mulvahill

5th Grade Reading
5th Grade Reading Students,
This week we will begin working in new reading groups. Each student has a partner and a group that will be reading the same novel. During the next few class periods, students will be expected to both read and respond to their literature each day. Some assignments will be taken home as well. If you have any questions regarding your group or assignments, don't hesitate to ask!
I look forward to getting back into our "normal" reading grind!

3rd and 5th Grade
Families and Students,
This is a busy week! Both grades will be completing their MCA exams this week and next. BOTH grades have worked very hard this year, so I am excited for them to show what they have learned.
Due to the busy schedule, students will not be meeting in their regular classes or class times. Therefore, homework and assignments may not look quite the same or be as regular as usual. In 2-3 weeks, we should be back on schedule!
Good luck testing the next two weeks!
Have a great day.
