3rd Grade Newsletter
June 7, 2010 | By Mrs. Wingard
Dear Third Grade Families,
This is the last week with our classroom family! Next year brings more excitement with new discoveries
and new friendships. I always get a bittersweet feeling because I am excited and proud of my students,
but I will miss them dearly. I wish you a happy summer full of fun and good memories. I look forward
to seeing everyone next year.
Here is detailed daily schedule for the week.
Monday...Proper uniform.
We will discuss the value of friendship as seen in Charlotte’s Web. Then we will analyze our
friendships with individual classmates and create a “Friendship Book” for each person.
In the afternoon we will watch the cartoon version of Charlotte’s Web and compare it to the book. The
students are always shocked when the character’s dialogue is directly pulled from the text.
We will also review some of the math games that are in the “Summer Games Bag.”
Tuesday...Proper uniform
Our last day with the specialists in Music and PE.
We wrap up our Friendship Books. We watch the movie Charlotte’s Web with live people and compare that
to the cartoon and the book. We discuss why might changes have been made to the original story in
either of the movies.
Wednesday...Proper uniform

grade class picnic.
