Next week we have PE on Wednesday.
Dear Parents,
We had another good week in third grade. There is definitely a building holiday energy in the air!
The Kohl Spelling Bee is on December, 20th from 10:00 to 11:00. Desmond McCoy and Noah Gray will represent our third grade class in the spelling bee. Tim Siguaw is our alternate.
Please continue to collect Box Tops! This is a great and easy way to support our school. Student council will be sponsoring another Box Top contest after winter break.
Literacy:
This week students wrote an opinion piece about the best pet for apartment living. Next week, students will write an opinion piece about the the length of recess. When we return from winter break, students will publish an opinion piece before we begin our second narrative writing unit.
Math:
We will finish our math unit on Measurement, Time and Graphing early next week. Our unit test will be on Wednesday, December 19th. After break, we will start Unit 4, Addition and Subtraction of Multidigit Numbers. Please continue to practice multiplication and division facts 1-10 nightly. Students should also be building fluency with addition and subtraction facts through 20. We continuously hear from fourth grade teachers about the importance of memorized math facts. The MobyMax site has two great math folders, Fact Fluency and Math, that your child can use to support math homework practice.
Science:
We are well into our Metric Measurement and Matter unit. This week we investigated the characteristics of the three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas.
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, 5,6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 daily.
