eLEarning 6.5.20 - Your Last Day of 3rd Grade!
Good morning class, and welcome to your last day of school! To start your day, I'd like you to complete one last writing assignment. Please write a short note (5 to 10 sentences) to next year's third grade class. You can tell them what to expect in the 3rd grade: what might be hard, what might be easy, or what might be fun for them. Think about what you wish someone had told you on your first day of 3rd grade.
Please also complete 30 minutes of Khan academy or http://polyup.com/
We'll have our last class Zoom meeting today at 12. Please have a pencil and paper ready!

Last but not least, here is a letter from me to you . . .
Congratulations on making it to the end of what has been a very unique school year. Although we weren't able to end this year in class together, I'm glad we've been able to stay close thanks to our Zoom meetings, and I'm looking forward to our last meeting today when we can reflect a little on the year and say our goodbyes.
Earlier this week I had you share your favorite memory or memories of 3rd grade, so I'd like to share mine. When I think back about this year, what will stand out to me most are our two prayer services that you led with your reading buddies. Third grade was a long time ago for me, but I can still remember it pretty well. I know one of the things that I definitely did not do as a 3rd grader was get up and read in front of the entire school! You all were able to do that not once but twice, and at the same time set a great example as role models for your friends in Pre-K. You've all done so much to make me a proud teacher this year, but I think those two times are at the top of my list!
I hope you all have a fun and fantastic summer, and that you find some time to read and maybe even practice your multiplication facts :) You all have email now so if you ever want to check in to say hello you know where to reach me: rsassetti@sthelenchicago.org
One piece of advice I'll leave you with before you go on to become big, bad 4th graders: don't be afraid to make mistakes! A lot of the time, it's after you make a mistake that you will learn the most. What's most important isn't what you did wrong, but how you choose to respond to it.
with Love,
Mr. Sassetti

eLearning 6.3.20
Good morning class! With 3 days left in our school year, we will be winding down from daily posted assignments. You should use these next 3 days to look back in google classroom and catch up on missed assignments. You do not need to turn in every missed assignment, but you might want to pick one or two to work on for each day of school we have left.
https://classroom.google.com/
I'm also asking you to complete one last Flipgrid assignment for the year. As you know, our principal Mrs. Johnson is retiring this year. Please leave her a short message thanking for her all she's done for our school, and wishing her well in her retirement. You might also like to include one thing you love about St. Helen, or a favorite school memory. Please take the time to send a nice message, I'll be sharing these with her on the last day of school :)
Your other assignments for the day are:
Math: 30 minutes Khan Academy
Social Studies: Zoom lesson on pgs. 252 to 255, click the link below to join us at 12

eLearning 6.2.20
Good morning class, and happy Tuesday. Today we will be meeting in our small groups for math in the morning, and reading/ELA in the afternoon. Same groups and times as usual, you can see the schedule below as a reminder.
Apart from small groups, I'd like you to write a letter to Sr. Mary Kay to introduce yourself for next year. Your letter should include the date, begin with a greeting (Dear Sr. Mary Kay), and end with a closing (From, Your Name). If you need help, ask your mom or dad to help format your letter. Here's what else to include:
1) an introduction sentence: "Hello, my name is . . . "
2) What is your favorite subject?
3) What are you looking forward to in 4th grade?
4) What would you like to work on in 4th grade?
5) What do you like to do for fun?
These do not need to be long. 5 sentences would be enough, but you're welcome to make them longer if you like. If possible please upload as a google doc on our google classroom page, so I can print them off and give them to her for next year!
You can have until Thursday to complete this assignment :)
Here is the schedule and link for today's small groups:
Math (T/Th)
(9:30 - 10) - Stella, Owen, Kamila, Mika, Kaya
(10 - 10:30) - Vita, Cadence, Jacob, Evelyn
(10:30 - 11) - Sofia, Victoria, Thomas, Emi, Jhaxon
Reading/ELA (T/Th)
(12 - 12:30) - Vita, Evelyn, Thomas, Jhaxon
(12:30 - 1:00) - Stella, Owen, Emi, Cadence, Sofia
(1:00 - 1:30) - Kamila, Kaya, Mika, Victoria, Jacob
