Study Island and OAS Information
On Tuesday your child will bring home their Study Island and OAS username and passwords. These websites are very valuable in reviewing information we have learned in class. They will help to further prepare your child for the CRCT that will be given in April.
We will use both of these sites in class on a regular basis.
I will upload test questions to the OAS system beginning this weekend. ELA will be first followed by Math then Science and finally Social Studies.
Every student has taken the Study Island pre-test in Math and the majority of them have taken the ELA pre-test.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me via email rturner@liberty.k12.ga.us or by calling the school and leaving a message.

American Heroes
During the 2nd marking period our class studied the nine American Heroes that are presented in our Social Studies curriculum. Our new CCGPS for Reading incorporate these 9 heroes. Students had to break into groups and they had to put together a power point (ppt) presentation. Members of our class completed presentations on Paul Revere, Mary McLeod Bethune, Frederick Douglass, Thurgood Marshall, and Eleanor Roosevelt.
Following is the presentations the groups put together.

Welcome Back....again
We are back hitting the books for the 3rd marking period. Time is flying by. It seems like just yesterday we began school and here we are over 1/2 way through the year. As we begin the second half of the year, we have a full plate. Not only will we continue on with our studies in all of our subjects, but we will also devote time to reviewing and preparing for the CRCT. 3rd grade is a gateway year and students MUST pass the CRCT to continue on to 4th grade. We will also begin the mandatory 3rd grade writing assessment. The first assessment, persuasive writing, will be on Thursday 10 January 2013.
The third nine weeks finds our class reading Mr. Popper's Penguins, studying habitats and continuing with our GA Weekly Studies for Social Studies. Additionally, students will begin working with area and perimeter, learning and using specific formulas. Other topics in Math that they will learn about include fractions, liquid measurement, time/elapsed time, and geometry. Finally, we will continue our study of nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and pronouns as well as honing our writing skills.

PTO Night
The 2nd and 3rd grade will present their PTO showcase on Thursday 13 December at 5:30. After light refreshments of hot chocolate and cookies, the students will perform. They will sing carols for the audience. We have been rehearsing during our individual days of music special. Today we came together as a group to begin practice.
A bright red flyer went home regarding this. At the bottom of the flyer is a section for you to mark either you child will participate or they will not participate. Please sign and return these as soon as possible so that we can get an accurate count for the showcase.

Science Fair Project
Our class worked very hard on their Science Fair project....and all of that worked paid off. We won 1st place for 3rd grade and our project went on to the next competition level. Below are a bevy of pictures taken of the students as they collected data.
The title of our project was Beans, Beans...They are Good for Your Heart.
The students looked at three different types of beans. They weighed and measured the beans to help determine which type of bean would absorb the most water in varying amounts of time (10 mins, 20 mins, 1 hour, 3 hours, 9 hours, and 27 hours). At each stage water was drained and the beans were measured. The students then took the data collected and placed it in a graph. They then completed the board with all of the required components (hypothesis, question, title, data, methods/procedure, pictures). They did an outstanding job throughout the entire process. Pictures of the project board will be posted when the board is returned to our class.
