Today in Math we learned about Addition and Subtraction Fact Families. When you have three numbers it makes up a fact family. You can create 2 addition facts and 2 subtraction facts. We decided to spice up the lesson a little and enjoy the beautiful day with a Fact Family Relay! See pictures below!!
You made it through the first week of school filled with homework and you survived!! Thank you for helping your children get their homework done and returned back to school. I love having parents involved in their students education!! Here is a quick sneak of what we have been working on: Math- We took our first Unit 1 test and you will be seeing that at conferences in October! I will have the students write what they got in their agendas on Monday. Writing- The students have drafted their storyboards and are now editing their first story. We are hoping to also have that typed up and reading to view for conferences! Science- We will be jumping into our Weather Unit on Monday so hopefully you will hear the excitement in your child. Reading- Your child has been working on questioning while reading a story, past tense verbs, and long and short a patterns. IMPORTANT UPDATES: Logins - Each of your children received a green sheet in their mailbox on Thursday. This sheet had all of your child's log ins for every computer website we use in the classroom. Your child can use the following currently at home : Keyboarding, Kidblog, Everdaymath, and Extra Math! Coupon Books - These need to be returned to school on TUESDAY! Picture Day - October 2nd is pictures please return the white form in your child's folder by SEPTEMBER 26th!PicturePic *We had to say bye to one of our classmates today, so we took one last silly picture for him!!

Wow where does time go? I am so sorry that it has already been 3 weeks of school and I haven't even posted yet. I had a few issues with my login and have finally got it all figured out. I am sure you are wondering what your child has been working on, so below is quick overview of what we have been learning!
Daily 5 - We have really been working on Reading Stamina. Each night your child will need to read for 20 minutes so we have really been practicing on building our stamina and making sure we are comprehending what we are reading. Next week we will be working on Keyboarding and blogging. Reading- Students just finished their first full week of transitioning to new classrooms, and they are doing awesome! In third grade we are currently focusing on Visualization, creating a mini movie in your head using your five senses to help you comprehend a story. We have also started a new phonics program called Word Study. Your student will have a worksheet that will go along for homework on a nightly basis. Math - Review, Review, Review! We are getting close to wrapping up our Unit 1 in math. Students reviewed concepts such as time, money, and number sequences. You may have seen pink RSA half sheets in their mailbox which is their graded work each day. If you look on the bottom you will see a circled grade on a 4, 3, 2, 1 scale. Homelinks will start coming home each night for homework. Please make sure to check over your students work and leave a note at the top if you had to really help them a lot. Writing- Personal Narratives are back in full force. A personal narrative is writing a story about yourself that has to have a feeling and problem in it. Ask your child what story they are currently writing and maybe you can give them some helpful details you remember to make it easier for them to recall! Science - We are about to begin our first science investigation within Earth Science. We will be focusing on weather and different types of instruments that help us predict weather. Take a peek at a few pictures of us working below!!! Have any questions or need some clarification? Please send me an email! |
