Mrs. Barden welcomed parents to her 3rd grade class open house. She outlined what subjects the children will study over the year, including reading books like Charlotte's Web, writing with a focus on sentence structure and poetry, math covering multiplication, division, decimals and fractions, art projects with clay and beads, science covering earth science and astronomy in the first semester and history in the second, and field trips to places like museums, the zoo and movie theatre. She asked how parents can help with involvement at home, volunteering, and celebrations.
