Week 5: Happy October

Time flies! We are already one month into our school year. Our children have settled down into routines and we are now getting into more academic activities in class.

We were so happy to see many family members show up to help decorate your notebooks. The notebooks turned out beautifully and the children enjoyed sharing the stories behind their pictures. It helped to generate excitement as we prepared to launch our writing unit on Personal Narratives! This unit builds on second grade skills learned in the Small Moments unit last year. Our children will think about real life events and use dialogue, description and elaboration to help create stories around their observations.

On Monday, we will have the Chapter 1 math test. We have been working with estimation, addition and subtraction this past unit.  The next chapter, Represent and Interpret Data, will focus on graphs and charts. Addition and subtraction skills will be folded into the work as we read charts and graphs to find totals and differences.

Here's what else to expect next week:
  • Math test on Monday. You can use the following link to give your child additional practice if you feel it is needed:  https://www.ixl.com/math/grade-3/rounding-nearest-ten-or-hundred-only
  • We will unveil our All About Me museums during Family Friday. students will display their artifacts and show their first quickly published piece of writing. Please join us at 8:35- 9:15. 
Have a wonderful weekend!
