Upcoming Dates
- Family Lunch Fridays - Our campus is open each Friday for lunch visitors! When you arrive you will sign in at the front office and receive a visitor badge that must be worn at all times. You will need a photo ID (license or passport). You will be able to eat lunch with your child at the designated tables for lunch visitors. You may only eat with your child. No other learners may be invited to eat with you. You may purchase lunch in the cafeteria or bring a lunch with you. Parents will be dismissed from the cafeteria. You will need to go back through the front office to sign out at the end of lunchtime. Please see Ms. Martin's Principal Newsletter for details on who may eat with your child and a form to fill out for non-parent lunch visitors. No lunch visitors on early release days.
- Background Checks - If you have not had a chance to fill out a background check please fill one out for yourself or update last year's! Click here to register as a new volunteer or confirm your information from last year. This must be completed every school year for you to volunteer at the school. The district will send you an email when your background check has cleared. Any opportunities for volunteering at the school, including holiday parties, will require a cleared background check. Once completed it lasts for the remainder of the school year. When you create your account, make sure to click on the add new application button. (see picture below)

Math
And now? We decompose and compose fractions. Now y’all don’t panic. That sounds hard and confusing. But we got this! Unit fractions always have a numerator of 1, and they are the most basic form of the fraction. To decompose (break apart) the fraction ⅔, you would add ⅓ + ⅓. The answer for composing ⅓ + ⅓ would be the sum of unit fractions, ⅔. See? Easy peasy. After that, we compare fractions! Oh yeah, it just got real everybody! In third grade, we compare fractions that have the same denominators but different numerators (simply look at the numerator) AND fractions that have the same numerator but different denominators (the bigger the denominator, the smaller the piece - which means the fraction is less). We’ve GOT THIS! #3rdcrushesfractions
Science
So long to space…but not the planet song. That will be on repeat for quite some time! Lol! Our feet are back on the ground on Earth as we begin our final unit: Environments and Organisms. We will start by looking at what an Ecosystem is and made up of.
Reading/Writing
During our ELAR block the next few weeks, we will be reviewing literary concepts and practicing crucial test taking skills to include extended response to a prompt/text, short answer responses to literature and revising and editing completed work.
Social Studies
We will be identifying individuals, including Pierre Charles L'Enfant, Benjamin Banneker, and Benjamin Franklin, who have helped to shape communities. Each week for the next few weeks we will be highlighting different influential people based on a theme. This week’s theme is community shapers.
