Good morning senator. I will show you the library. First I will show you how to make a book. Before books were made on long scrolls made of papyrus. It is kind of paper. It was hard to fold scrolls out and in. We had to create the book. We flick thru the pages fast and we save hours. It easier to carry a few books then a bundle of scrolls. You should try it. Next I will show you who comes to our school. Only the boys that are rich go to school. They start going to school at six years old. The teacher beats them if they don’t remember their lessons. The teacher is a slave named a pedagogue. Girls don’t go to school they get taught by their mom. Thank you senator for letting me show you the library and school.

Weekly News
Dear Parents,
We have been learning so much in third grade this week. Read on to learn all about it. First we have been learning about the Roman Empire. Our class is working together to build a city out of sugar cubes. Each cube is equal to 10ft. We designed out buildings using the program sketch up from Google. Our city has everything you can imagine like a villa, an army base, an arena, a temple, a library, baths, apartments, stores, aqueduct, senator house, roads, and walls. We are having fun building our city. We are also making a news report about Rome.
Another thing we have been working on is math. This week we talked about square numbers. Our class took a test on subtracting 5 and 6. Most of us did ok but we could all use to continue to study.
Finally we sold lots of Hot Coco. We made about $80.00. Thank you very much Mrs. Browning, Mrs. Johanson, Mrs. Gormely for your help! We all did a great job selling and planning the fund raiser.
As you can see we have had a busy week. We all want to go home and take a nap.
Sincerely,
Your Third Grader

Update
Wew... Another quarter is finished and reports cards are well on there way to being finished. Your students worked very diligently during finals week to complete tests in reading, writing, and math. They all did their very best. We had our goal celebration this week to stop and "sharpen the saw" before heading into another quarter.
We have begun studying the roman empire. Students are being introduced to what the empire was and what made up the empire society. We have started creating our 3D models on google sketch up. If you have internet access It is a free download that I think your kids would enjoy and may lead to them being our future architects. T
One final note this week we should be back on schedule with homework each night and a spelling test on Friday.

Weekly Letter
Dear Parents,
Good afternoon. We hope you have had a great week like we have. This week we have been working on many different things this week. First we have been listening to James and the Giant Peach. This is a great book! It’s a great book because it is funny and creative. We are just now getting into the adventure and James is in the Peach and has met the bugs. Next we have been making comics. The comics are being made on the computer and we are going to use them to make a story using quotation marks. It is awesome. Finally we have been learning about sound. We put our ear in a tube and listening to a tuning fork. Can you believe sound bounces off stuff and travels in waves? We have also learned that vibration makes noise and you need energy to start it. Sound can travel through water and other solid materials. In conclusion we have had an interesting week this week.
Sincerely
Your Third Grade
PS We are planning a hot chocolate stand, we had our highest spelling test average, and many of us are reaching our AR goals
