Friday, November 2nd
Next week, we have PE on Wednesday.
Dear Parents,
Happy Friday! It has been quite a week with Halloween falling on Wednesday. Today is the last day of our first trimester. It’s hard to believe your children are ⅓ of the way through their 3rd grade year! Report cards for first trimester will be available through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal on Wednesday, November 14th.
Thank you to everyone who has returned the permission slip for our field trip to see Annie at the Broomfield library auditorium on Friday, November 16th. Thank you to everyone who volunteered to chaperone for this trip. I am still waiting to hear back from the director about seating, but let’s plan on everyone attending. Amber Gray, Laura Meushaw, Sarah Schilling, Mary Ann Lawler, Lisa Fairlee, and Heidi Siguaw please come to the classroom at 8:10 to begin walking to the auditorium. If there is not enough space for all chaperones to attend, I will let you know asap. We will begin walking to the auditorium at 8:15 and will return to school by 1:30 for our fall party! Students and chaperones will need a sack lunch for this trip. Thank you!
Curriculum Update
We continued to build fluency with 1s-10s multiplication and division. We used order of operations (ask your child about PMDAS Please Make Dad A Sandwich) to solve multi-step word problems. I am impressed with their hard work. We will have our Unit 2 math test on Thursday of next week. Then, we will begin our Measurement, Time, and Graphs unit.
Our Plant and Animal Life Cycles unit is coming to a close. It has been fun to learn about the life cycles of butterflies, mealworms, and pea plants in our classroom. Next week, we will spend time comparing the life cycles of plants and animals. We will have a unit test on Friday, November 9th. We will begin a social studies unit about regions when we return from Thanksgiving break.
Students read informational texts about migration this week and wrote an informational piece about why some animals and insects migrate. Next week, students will be reading and writing about prairie dogs and will work on publishing one of their informational pieces the week of November 13th.
Homework for next week:
- ReadingPlus or iReady lessons at least once per week.
- Read at least 20 min nightly.
- Check in with your child about their Mystery State assignment. Help your child practice their Dictado sentence. This should be written in their homework notebook each week.
- Practice math X and / facts 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10. 10 minutes daily
