Writing
Dear Parents and Families,
The end of February is an exciting time for us in 3rd grade! We have just finished our informational animal books and will begin our Persuasive Review Opinion Writing Unit on Monday! If your child has not yet completed their book, they will need to complete it at home as we need to move on to the next unit in school. Please visit the 3rd grade informational animal books in the Red Cedar Library and feel free to leave some students positive comments on their comment sheets near their books. Having authentic feedback is an amazing way to grow as a writer!
Speaking of authentic feedback, our class has also started to work on our classroom wiki. A place where each child has their own page where they can express themselves and also where they will be publishing their reviews. If you would like to provide students feedback and read reviews on our classroom wiki, please either comment to this post or send me an e-mail and I can add you to our wiki community!

Parent-Teacher Conferences
I believe that I have everyone scheduled for a parent-teacher conference. Confirmation letters came home on Friday. If you are unsure of your conference time, please check the schedule I have attached below. Additionally, if you need to reschedule, please send me an e-mail and I can do my best to accommodate you. Please understand that some people on the schedule had extenuating circumstances that prevented them from attending the conferences during the times I had offered. My goal is to meet with every family and I do my best to be accommodating to those with an extenuating circumstance.

Math
Red Cedar Math Night will take place on Thursday, February 27th. This is a fun event that is a great way to encourage a love for learning and mathematics! Be sure to turn in your pizza order form if you plan to order pizza. Of course bringing your own food or not eating is also an option.
I look forward to seeing you all at Parent-Teacher Conferences. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns by commenting to this post or by sending me an e-mail. As always, thank you for sharing your amazing children with me everyday! What a gift!
Sincerely,
Ms. Bean :)
