Mrs. Meller's Classroom Page

READING: The class will take the final unit test.  They will be tested over reading comprehension, phonics, grammar, and study skills.

MATH: The students will be introduced to two-digit multiplication and long division.  I don't expect the students to fully master these skills, but I thought it would be a helpful start for next year.

ENGLISH: The students will continue their review of punctuation rules.

SOCIAL STUDIES: The class will learn about the western states.  They will be tested over the location and state capitol on Thursday.

SCIENCE: The students will be learning about light and color.

RELIGION: The class will be planning the liturgy for Tuesday, May 15.  They will also finish the unit on the Kingdom of God.

SPELLING WORDS: Review the words for the spelling bee, which will be held on Thursday.

FRIDAY; CULTURE DAY:  The students will spend the day learning about the countries and cultures of Egypt, India, and Canada.   

HOMEWORK:  Study the western state capitols and locations, review spelling words, memorize poem.

May 14 - 16

Monday: Enrichment activities in the morning.  In the afternoon we will clean the classroom.  Students are asked to brig a rag.  Also, they may bring an empty spray bottle or spray cleaner.  I am not going to use buckets of water and soap; it usually becomes a big mess.

Tuesday:  Summer blast off activities in the morning.  In the afternoon, the kids will watch a movie and have their final reading reward recess.

Wednesday:  Students will attend mass, followed by the awards assembly.  They will then have recess and return to church for the Living Rosary.  Finally, we will go back to the classroom to move desks and hand out report cards.  SCHOOL WILL BE DISMISSED AT 11:00.  THERE WILL BE NO AFTER CARE PROVIDED.

I do want to take this opportunity to say that I truly have enjoyed working with this third grade class.  Although not as quiet as I sometimes would have liked, they are a very outgoing, hard working, and fun bunch.  I am so pleased with the progress they have made this year.  I feel confident that they are ready to tackle fourth grade.  I wish you all a safe and fun summer.
