Pictured: Winner Ethan Walker and Runner-Up Mallory Altenburg Tri-County Area School District February 2014 Page #2 3rd Grade News By Mrs. Jagielo, Mrs. Ertl, and Mrs. Schroeder The third grade has been busy exploring all sorts of nonfiction literature to help us with our reading comprehension. Our curricu- lum focuses on bringing reading comprehension into all content areas. The students have enthusiastically taken to this new type of learn- ing. One example was their “Holidays Around the World” projects which involved independent research and presentation. We look for- ward to our spring research project that focuses on environmental awareness. We have finished reading the chapter book, Stone Fox , by John Reynolds Gardiner. This is a favorite story each year in 3 rd grade. During this unit we studied characters, setting and plot. For a writing project, we wrote our own chapter to add to the end of the story. Stop in and look at the variety of new endings to this story! Another reading unit focused on wolves, including habitats, life cycles, stereotypes and controversies. The Timber Wolf Alliance came to visit in October to present facts on the life of wolves and the history of the wolf in Wisconsin. The students learned many things about this magnificent creature! The students need to continue to learn their multiplication facts in math. Thank you to the parents who are helping their children practice at home. It makes a big difference! Upcoming units will include money, telling time, measurement, division, geometry, and frac- tions. In science, we have begun our unit on the human body. We are learning about how all of our organs work for us. It is amazing to see how everything fits inside of our bodies! We will then move on to the solar system, and learn a little about each of the planets. We hope to raise chicks and ducklings again this spring during our lifecycles unit. In English, the students have been learning about the parts of speech. We’ve covered the basics: nouns, verbs, and pronouns. We will soon be learning about adjectives and adverbs. The students will apply this knowledge in their creative descriptive stories. The kids really enjoy this unit and the stories are always a joy to read! Our next unit of study will be writing friendly letters. In addition to that, we have been practicing basic grammar skills and writing complete sentences in English class and in our everyday work. In social studies, we have been learning about different types of communities. Most communities are built near crossroads, wa- ter, or the mountains for natural resources. Another important part of social studies is learning how to read maps, charts, and graphs. We will soon be learning about career options. Students will explore different types of careers; and they will begin thinking about an area that they are interested in pursuing. Don’t be surprised when your child brings home a note about speaking to the 3 rd graders about your ca- reer. We hope many of you will consider coming in to share your experience with us. As you can tell, the third graders have been very busy. The school year is flying by, and there’s still so much to learn. We would also like to thank the parents for staying involved in their child’s education. Tri-County Area School District February 2014 Page #3 Battle of the Books Teams of middle school students participating in our school library’s Battle of the Books (BOB) reading pro- gram, will be competing in preliminary and final battle rounds during the last 2 weeks of February. These classroom battles will determine which 2 teams will advance to our final 2014 Battle of the Books competition. Family and friends of all contestants are invited to the final battle between the top 2 BOB teams on Friday, February 28 at 1:45 pm in the lecture hall, after which all Battle of the Books contestants will be recognized for the time and hard work they devoted to this exciting reading program. Mrs. Kristy Bandy, Library Media Specialist Gotta Cut Footloose! January 24 th our Middle School Stu- dent Council threw a great Hollywood themed dance party! Students enjoyed great music, Wii games, ping pong, air hockey, and board games! To make the night even better we also had a raffle and bake sale!! Sweet!! We’d like to thank Cheapskates Mo- bile DJ for keeping the dance floor hoppin’. Many thanks also go out to our wonderful custodians, great 7/8 staff for the games and ping pong equipment, the Knutson family for the use of their Wii, and to all our intrepid bakers for their yummy cookies and brownies for the sale!

Tri-County Area School District February 2014 Page #4 The Tri-County FFA Chapter is again hosting the Rural Youth Safety Day for the 4th graders from Tri-County, Coloma, and Almond-Bancroft Elementary Schools. Safety is an important concept students need to learn at a young age, and we hope by hosting our safety day, we are making our students, safer students. Our Safety Day will be held on Friday, May 9 th , 2014. It will be held at Veterans Memorial Park in Plainfield, located to the west of the Tri-County School. The different presentations include: car and bike safety, animal safety, machinery safety, fire safety, natural resources safety, home safety, and recreational safety. The presenters plan an interactive presentation to main- tain the interest level of nine and ten year old students. The stu- dents rotate though the stations throughout the day to learn about each safety topic. We are seeking your financial help to sponsor t-shirts for the participants. In the past, students have had the opportunity to cre- ate a design for the next year’s safety t-shirt. We would like to continue this tradition for the Tri -County FFA 4 th Grade Safety day and are looking for dona- tions from local businesses and individuals to make this happen.
