A Look Ahead

Requesting Yearbook Pictures

 Our yearbook staff is requesting pictures of our virtual students doing virtual school at home.  If you can, please send me any pictures that you have taken of your child doing virtual learning.  If you don't have any and you have a chance, please snap a couple and send them to me.  I will pass them along to our yearbook staff.  They are requesting that the pictures be in the largest size possible.

READ ACROSS AMERICA

Upper Campus is excited to celebrate Read Across America on March 2nd with a WHOLE SCHOOL, ONE PICTURE BOOK celebration along with virtual community readers.  As part of this celebration, EVERY student will be provided a copy of The Magician’s Hat by Malcolm Mitchell.  We will be completing activities during the week related to this text. 

We are asking parents of our virtual students to drop by and pick up their child’s book.  

Dates and times for book pick up are as follows:

Wednesday, February 24th- 7:30-4:00

Thursday, February 25th - 7:30-5:00

Friday, February 26th- 7:30-3:00

We have tried to schedule flexible pick up times, but if you are unable to come during these times, please reach out to your child’s teacher and we will work with you.

Edible Soil

Students enjoyed using different types of food to understand the texture of the three types of soil we are studying and humus. Thank you for providing them with food for this activity. I think they really enjoyed it and made connections!

Dental Treat Bags

The 3rd graders watched a virtual dental show created by Delta Dental today. You are welcome to pick up a dental goodie bag for your child at the school. When you come pickup your child's book for Read Across America you could grab this as well. (see above information) Just tell the front office you need to pick one up and they will grab one from the nurse's office.  

Curriculum

Math-  We will focus on reading, writing, comparing numbers through the hundred thousands place (999,999) and writing them in different forms. (word, expanded, standard) We will focus on these standards next week with a quiz on Thursday or Friday.  We will also move into Chapter 10:Understand Fractions. I will send the family letter explaining it more next week. Please encourage your child to practice their multiplication facts. They can use flashcards the following website: Math Trainer. 

ELA-  We will focus on author's purpose (persuade, inform, entertain).  In writing, we continue working on literary analysis. This type of writing also involves reading since we will be analyzing texts. 

Science- We will wrap up our focus on soil in the middle of the week with a graded assignment and then move back to social studies. 

Social Studies- We will focus on Culture and Regions when we finish soil. 

*Please continue to refer to your child's Week At A Glance for graded assignments next week.
