Nov. 5 - 9

We are PRE!  We need Technology!!Today is the day voting begins for the Clorox Grant.  Please remember to vote DAILY with every electronic device you have.  Our school could really use the $50,000 to use towards new technology.
If you are on Facebook, check out the PRE PTA page. You can follow the process there and it will provide you with more voting information.  You will also be recieving more information about it in today's Monday Folder. 

Reading-
We are winding down our theme on government this week.  Students have learned how to create images of the text they read. 

Writing-
The students received a reply from their pen pals today.  We will be writing friendly letters this week in response to their new found pals. We will also be writing our buddy, Addisen. 

Spelling-
The pattern for this week is suffixes.  Students will practice and learn the meaning of these ones:  -ful, -able, and -less.  It is a great idea to discuss with your kids the meanings of the suffixes listed above and how they change the word.  We will also be doing that in class this week.  The test will be on Friday.
-ful means full of or having
-able means capable of
-less means without

Science-
The students will learn about the phases of the moon, stars, and constellations this week. 

Social Studies-
Election Day will finally be here tomorrow!  Our class president, Ashley Sagi, will be competing against the class presidents from the other 3 third grade classes tomorrow.  Each candidate will give a speech to the entire grade level.  We will then have the students "vote" for the candidate of their choice.  We are incredibly proud of Ashley and all of our candidates from last week.  They were fantastic!  :)

Have a wonderful week!
