Dear Families,
We are looking forward to having a full 5 days of school this week! We had a great time at our Valentine's Day part last week. Check out a few pictures of our fun below!
Our class is diligently working to complete our current units so we can move on. With all of the snow days, we are trying to catch up on lost class time. Just a quick reminder to make sure students bring appropriate winter snow gear for recess each day. They need to wear snow pants, hats, mittens, coats, boots, etc. We want everyone to be warm and stay healthy!
Have a wonderful week,
Mrs. Davis
Questions to ask your child about 3rd grade this past week:
- How many different ways can you solve 108-49?
- What informational book are you currently reading?
- What is one way you can have a great conversation about your reading?
- What was your goal last week and did you complete it?
Curriculum Updates
Writing: We are continuing our unit called "The Art of Informational Writing" is extending our knowledge of writing informational texts. The students are writing and working very hard to complete our final drafts before our writing celebration on Friday. You should have received a note home last week. You are welcome to join us this Friday, February 22, to celebrate our writing. Please let Mrs. Davis know if you plan to attend.
Math: We have finished our unit 3 and will be testing on Tuesday this week. Our next unit will focus on fractions and we will be starting with unit fractions on Thursday.
***Please remember to continue to practice their flashcards. Repeated practice helps with both accuracy and speed.
Social Studies: This week we will continue to study the European explorers, why they came to North America, and what were they looking for in their explorations.
Reading Workshop: As we finish up our Informational Writing, we are also finishing this reading unit. We will be starting our new unit analyzing characters this week.
*Please encourage your child to read one book at school and at home. It is important that they take the same book back and forth from school to home each day. We want to work on building comprehension by reading a book all the way through before starting another one!
