Today we watched Because of Winn Dixie and compared/contrasted the movie with the book. The class really enjoyed this!! They are going to love our next novel study in January! We also finished up our Native American Rotations. The students loved learning about the different regions from other Third Grade teachers. Ask your child which rotation they enjoyed the best! Please sign and return your child’s Pope Drama field trip permission slip if you have not already. Also, don’t forget to have your child practice and prepare for their special book assignment that is due in December!

Next week, we will be wrapping up reading Because of Winn Dixie. I've loved seeing everyone fall in love with different characters and hearing the complaints when we stop reading at the end of a chapter. I can’t wait until our next novel study in January! Finally, please make sure to read the message from Mrs. Carstens via the Tritt News email regarding recent illness at Tritt and what symptoms to look for.
