Hello Third Grade Parents,
we all made it to September. It has been a wonderful first month getting to know all of your children on a deeper level. They are a wonderful group of kiddos! Real quick recap of where we are at: Math-Continuing with Multiplication and Division strategies (a new one for many of them has been the "tape diagram"). They are working had on practicing and understanding these new concepts. We also started our Math Fluency program, Rocket Math. The students had a great time practicing math facts, and doing the one minute time test. In reading we are talking about Asking and Answering Questions as you read, and text structure-sequencing. We are finding transition words that authors use in order to organize a piece of writing in a logical, sequential order. In writing we continue to work on expanding sentences and paragraph formation, as well as responding to text and questions in complete sentences. In social studies we are learning about geographers and map skills using maps and landmarks in Arizona. Last, in Science we continue to talk about the Sun as a source of energy. I look forward to seeing everyone in the morning, and to having a wonderful week. A few more important things, there are a few people that have still not joined Class Dojo. Please check it out, so we can begin posting student work for you to see. Also, if you have not returned the Class Curriculum Fee, please do so ASAP. Last, homework packets were passed out Friday. The new Assignment Sheet will be handed out in the morning (if you need to see it earlier you can view it on the website).
