Week 8

October continues with an exciting new unit in Reading! Next week, we will begin looking at the genre of Mystery. This unit challenges students to read with attention to details in order to make theories as the reader tries to solve crime along with the characters in the book.

We also started the first of three units about multiplication in our math work. Chapter three focuses on the concepts behind multiplication and strategies for figuring out the product before students learn the multiplication facts. Here is a link for additional support:

You can also continue to play the Halloween Math facts game and choose the multiplication option if your child has begun to study the facts and want a speed challenge:

Here's what else is happening next week:

• We are heading to the Armory on Tuesday. Please make sure your child is dressed with shoes that are good for running. 
• We will meet with our Buddies on Friday. Our buddy class this year will be Ms. Concannon's first graders. Our third graders are ready to meet with the younger children and show them their work on their Continents poster. :)

Have a great weekend and Happy Boo Bash!
