Dear Families,
The weather is getting colder, so we would like to remind students to wear warm clothing to school. Many children are getting cold at recess time because they do not have a jacket to wear. We love taking them outside, so we appreciate it very much if they have clothing that is best for the weather. Thank you for your support!
Math: We just finished our first math unit, Addition & Subtraction Patterns. Next week, we will start unit 2, Introduction to Multiplication. Students should continue practicing their addition and subtraction facts at home.
Spelling: Students have spelling tests once a week. Students should practice their words at home as well. They can do the optional spelling activities and/or use Spelling City at home. We use Spelling City at school, and students really enjoy it!
Writing: We have been continuing with our personal narratives. The students are currently in the drafting process. We’ve been discussing the key components that their narratives should have, as well as using our “storyteller voice” to make the piece more interesting for our audience.
Reading: This week we have focused on reading fluency which includes phrasing, rate, expression, accuracy and paying attention to punctuation marks. Later on, they will participating in Reader’s Theater where they will be able to practice what they know about reading fluently. We’ve also been writing journal entries about the Red Clover books that we’ve read.
Parent Conferences: Parent conferences start next week. Please contact me if you would like a conference and have not already scheduled one.
Curriculum Night: The third grade Curriculum night will be on Wednesday, October 19th at 5:30. We hope to see you there!
Picture Retakes: Picture Retakes will be on Wednesday, October 19th in the morning.
Have a Wonderful Weekend!
