Dear families,
We had a fabulous third week in third grade. The students are working together cooperatively and becoming adjusted to the higher expectations of being in upper elementary school. Please remind your child that it is their responsibility to bring home their folder and agenda every afternoon and return it to school the next day. Their agenda is the best resource for you as well to know exactly what their homework expectations are each night.
Next week we will be learning about asking and answering questions about what we read. This is includes creating their own questions about what is read. This can be hard for children: please make sure they complete their Reading homework this week to help with this tricky skill. In Writing we will master the art of writing a complete sentence, a skill that will be used for the rest of their lives. In Math we have begun our unit on place value through the hundred thousands place. The students enjoy using models with their numbers, will read numbers in word form, and learn how to write in expanded form. In Science we will continue our unit of animal adaptations and learn about food chains in different kinds of environment.
If you have internet access at home, please have your student log into Moby Max from home! Some students are still completely missing their computer time because they are typing their log-ins incorrectly. This site has great activities to help your child master their addition and subtraction facts before we begin multiplication in the second nine weeks.
We have one more week of our Big Blast Fundraiser to go. I would love to have all of my students participate the the inflatable party. If you still have not donated to this great cause the information can all be found on our Trevvett Website.
After school clubs begin on Wednesday, October 3. They are from 2:20-3:20. More information can be found on our Trevvett Website.
