Social Studies Test, 100% Crew

Metro Park Presentations

As you are aware, our third grade social studies theme is the study of Michigan. To enhance our learning, we will have the Metro Parks of Michigan come out to do presentations. The programs “People of the Three Fires,” and “French Voyageurs,” fit well into our curriculum and are very appropriate for third graders. Through their mobile learning center, both of these programs are available to come to our school so that we do not have to pay the transportation expense. 

The cost for both presentations will be a total of $4 per child. There is no permission slip or chaperones necessary because we are not leaving the school grounds.

Math

In math, we have been working on Mental Math and Estimation. This means mental addition, mental subtraction, using rounding to estimate, and front end estimation. The students will complete a pretest/study guide in class on Thursday. We wiill review the pretest/stuudy guide in class together. The pretest/study guide will NOT be the same as the test. It will cover the same topics. Students will have their Chapter 2 Math Test on Friday, October 7th.

Field Trip

On Tuesday, October 25th, Arno’s third graders are going on a field trip to River Raisin’s National Battlefield Park in Monroe. We will be learning about Michigan’s Native American History. The permission slip was sent home with students on Friday. If you need another copy of the permission slip, please click the link below.

Field Trip Permission Slip

Chaperones are welcome to attend. If you or a responsible adult in the family would like to join,  please return the chaperone part of the note that was sent home on Friday. You can also access this note by clicking on the Field Trip Permission Slip link above.
