Happy Holidays!

Thank you so much! I was so surprised by all the kind cards and lovely gifts from you and your children. This was truly been a great way to end 2018!

As the new year starts, we will have new units in math and reading. We wrapped up Mystery today and the kids enjoyed watching The Great Mouse Detective. They also spoke about the plot using language like detectives! In 2019, we will begin reading Information books. These Nonfiction texts are high interest and pushes our children to become experts in a topic. Our focus will be to not just collect details but to think about how those details connect to become main ideas.

We have also finished our math units on Multiplication and will move forward to use those facts to help us with our Division work. It would be helpful to continue practicing our multiplication facts, especially the 6, 7, and 8 facts which have always been tricky. A few kids have reported how they have practiced the facts with flash cards or skip counting. Those are great ways to practice!

See you in 2019! Have a beautiful and relaxing Winter Recess!

Week 16: Happy Holidays!

The final week of 2018 is here! If you are planning to travel before the end of this school week, please let me know by note so that the attendance office is informed.

Here's what to expect for next week:

• We have Armory on Tuesday.
• We will have Tiny Scientist on Wednesday. 
• The Chapter 5 Math test will be given on Thursday. it will focus on the review of multiplication facts. We have been practicing theses facts in In and Out tables and looking for missing factors. This sets us up nicely for the next unit on Division. 
• We will also visit our Buddies in Ms. Ancona's class on Thursday!
• On Friday, we will have a wrap up of our Reading Mystery unit. The kids will finish up their reading partnerships and watch a mystery movie, The Great Mouse Detective. Your child may bring a snack to have during the viewing. 

Here are some links to help practice for the math test:

Have a wonderful Winter Recess!

See you in 2019!

Week 15

Due to the fact we are going on a field trip on Monday, we will eat lunch at 1:00 pm back at the school. We are asking each family to make sure your child has eaten breakfast on Monday and to send in a snack for your child to have after the trip. 

Thank you!

Here's what expect for next week:

• We are going to the College of Staten Island to see a show. Holiday Tales is a performance that teaches about the different celebrations of the world. We have two parent volunteers for chaperones. 
• We starting a new math unit next week. This unit will take children focus on learning different ways to solve multiplication facts. It will also ask for missing factors, which is a precursor to division facts. It is helpful for your child to continue practicing multiplication facts. Many kids have said they've practiced at home with an adult or older sibling.  To make it more challenging and exciting, try mixing up the order of the facts or asking missing factor questions ( 3 times what will make 15?) Here are some links to practice with:

Have a great weekend! Happy Hanukah to our families who celebrate the Festival of Lights. 

Week 14

This was an eventful week! We went on our first trip to the Brooklyn Museum this year and learned a lot about how a home reflects our culture.

  
 

 We also had our highly anticipated Cultural Luncheon! It was a truly a sumptuous feast and the children were adventurous eaters who tried so many different dishes. We really appreciate all the contributions of our wonderful families!

 Here’s what’s happening next week:

• We will have Armory on Tuesday.
• Third graders will have Tiny Scientist this Wednesday.
• Family Friday will have students make greeting cards for Gods Love We Deliver.
• We will also have the Chapter 4 Math test. The test will focus on Multiplication facts and strategies that help us learn the facts. The 7 , 8 and 9 facts can be especially tricky. Here are some links to help you study those facts with your child:

Have a wonderful weekend!

  

Week 13

 
 
 

We had the best weather for our Tuesday's Nature walk in Prospect Park. Our tiny scientists got to explore the park and observe forces in action around the park. They saw children, animals and even the wind exert a force to help move things. We really appreciate Rafa's and Jack's mom for walking us over and helping us see all the science around us!

Here's what to expect for next week:

• We are heading to the Brooklyn Museum on Wednesday. Many parents have volunteered to come on the trip. Please expect a note in your child's folder about whether you are one of the five selected to go. There will also be a note letting you know if you were not selected.
• Friday is the Cultural Luncheon! This event is highly anticipated by our children and many adults. We will also send notices and reminders home for everyone by Tuesday.

Here are some math links to help review what we are working on in class: https://www.ixl.com/math/grade-3/multiply-by-4

Week 12: Happy Thanksgiving!

It was great meeting up to chat with you during Parent Teacher Conferences. Of course, we will continue to communicate as we move forward this year and work together to help our children have a successful year. The feedback you have provided has been helpful to me as we take our next steps!

We are starting the next semester with some new units in may subjects. We have already begun immersing ourselves in the genre of Mystery in Reading. These exciting stories give us a chance to take the skills we have learned in fiction reading and strengthen them. Like all great detective teams, our children will be matched with a partner to read mysteries and use talk and collaboration strategies to read these stories with more attention and understanding.

In Math, we are spending more time learning the Multiplication facts. We have been making connections from the 2 times table to the 4 times table; from the 5 times table to the 10 times table by using the Doubles strategy. For example, if we know the fact  2 x 8 = 16, we can double it to solve 4 x 8 since 4 is double 2. Next week, we will use number properties to help us with trickier facts like the 7 times table. Here are some links to help your child practice multiplication facts:

https://www.ixl.com/math/grade-3/multiplication-facts-for-2-3-4-5-and-10-true-or-false

In Social Studies, we have begun to explore the elements of Culture. Culture is defined as the way a group of people live and share a life together. This includes shelters, traditions, jobs, clothing and food. Our Cultural Luncheon will take place on November 30th and our kids are so proud as they talk about the dishes they will share. Please take this upcoming holiday as an opportunity to encourage your child to learn more about their family history.

We are continuing to examine how Balancing Forces are evident in our daily lives. Our Science unit has given our children the opportunity to explore magnetism and how it can be applied to tasks. We will next look at how the force of gravity helps to balance other forces.

Here's what else is happening next week:

• It's Crazy Sock Day at PS 154! Show your school spirit by wearing silly socks! Our kindergarten class are spearheading a school wide sock drive. They will collect socks to donate to those in need at a local shelter. What a wonderful way to start our holiday season!
• On Tuesday, we will take a nature walk in Prospect Park at 12:20- 1:10pm. 
• We will have Tiny Scientist on Wednesday.
• Schools will be closed on Thursday and Friday for the Thanksgiving holiday. 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Week 11

There were quite a few forms sent out this week and hopefully your child has handed them to you.  life you have not seen them please check for the following:

• Parent Teacher Conference request form. The tear off on the bottom must be returned so that we can set up an appointment to meet on Thursday to discuss your child's progress. Those of you who have returned the slip already have an appointment scheduled for you. Your child has a note in their homework folder with your time. 
• Cultural Luncheon forms. Please fill out the tear off at the bottom of the first page and send with your child on Tuesday when we return from Veterans Day. The second page should be sent in on Friday. It is important that we receive the second page so that your child and I can work on making a label to go with the dish you are sharing. The label will help anyone with an allergy or dietary preference make choices when we have our celebration. 

Here's what else to expect next week: 

• We have the Chapter 3 math test on Tuesday. This test will review all the many ways multiplication is represented. Here are some links to help you review.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Week 9

We have been learning a lot about continents this week! In class, students are watching brief films from The Continents of the World Series for Kids. These short films teach children about the people, landforms, climate and resources of each of the seven continents. Students have been practicing quick  note taking strategies and using their notes to help them talk about the information they have learned. We have also been practicing lots of information writing this week during Social Studies and Science.

In Writing Workshop, we have begun drafting our personal narratives. Children have been learning to write with greater details and are now trying to add dialogue into their stories.

Here's what is happening next week:

• Students will take home a Reading Response assignment. This assignment will be handed out on Monday and due the following Monday.  It builds on the work we have been doing in class regarding characters. We have been studying the main character of The Shoeshine Girl. Students have been naming character traits to describe the main character and paying close attention to how the character has changed as the story moves forward. As always, we use evidence from the story to support the ideas we have made. This is challenging work, and the children have come up with exciting ideas in our book talks!
• In Math, we are beginning a new unit on Multiplication Concepts. Multiplication will be introduced to students in this unit as the repeated addition of equal groups. We will have time in further units to deal with the multiplication facts but for these first lessons, we are looking at what Multiplication is and giving children strategies to find  products without relying on memorizing facts. Here are three links to preview the upcoming lessons:

Week 8

Thank you all for coming in to our first Family Friday of the year! We were excited to share our All About Me Museums and design a pretty rock to add to our school garden.

 

Here's what to expect for next week:

• We are visiting the Armory on Tuesday. This is also our normal gym day so  please make sure your child wears running shoes. 
• We will have the Chapter 2 Math test on Thursday. This test will focus on the graphs we have worked with in the last two weeks.

Have an excellent weekend!

Week 7

Students have had their first Math test and should have brought home the results. Many children did well and should be complimented for their efforts. We will continue to work on some skills such as regrouping carefully and working through a multistep problem. At home, you can support your child by encouraging to pay attention to any feedback on the homework assignment.

We have begun working on Chapter 2 in Math. This chapter focuses on Interpreting Data which involves looking at numbers on charts and graphs. We are looking at the stories numbers tell and will often use comparison words to help describe the relationship between the numbers on the chart or graph. During this unit, we will also revisit addition and subtraction as well as begin skip counting, which helps set us up for the next chapter on Multiplication. Here are some links to help review some of the topics we have learned so far:

• https://www.ixl.com/math/grade-3/interpret-tally-charts-and-tables
• https://www.ixl.com/math/grade-3/properties-of-addition

In Writing, we have moved on from writing about our All About Me artifacts to writing Personal Narratives. We had spent days gathering story ideas from our notebook decorations, and memories for true stories from our lives. This week we began planning our stories by making timelines on post its. Next week, we will start adding details to flesh out our stories. Many of the kids have enjoyed rehearsing their stories by using their story telling voices. 

Our next Read Aloud selection is The Shoeshine Girl by Robert Clyde Bulla. As we read this, we will focus on making ideas about the main character. Students will learn to support their ideas with text details. 

We have a busy week coming up:

• Picture Day is scheduled for Wednesday. Please note that all children will be photographed. Once the prints are made, you will receive a copy with instructions on how to order more prints online. 
• We will also have Tiny Scientist on Wednesday. 
• Family Friday will take place from 8:35- 9:20 am. Third grade classrooms will actually do two activities: The All About Me Museum from 8:35-8:45 and the Only One You rock painting activity for the remainder of the session. 

Have a great weekend!

Upcoming Week 6

This week, we have had our first Tiny Scientist visit. You may have seen the tongue depressor catapults used to demonstrate the concept of force to provide movement. The kids had a lot of fun and we continued working with that concept in class.

Next week, we will have our first math test on Wednesday. We have begun reviewing in class the major concepts taught and practiced test taking skills. If you would like to help your child study the basic skills, please feel free to have your child practice with these links:

• https://www.ixl.com/math/grade-3/subtract-numbers-up-to-three-digits

• https://www.ixl.com/math/grade-3/estimate-differences-word-problems

You can also help provide your child with additional practice by doing problems that were not assigned on the other side of the homework sheet.

Here's what is happening next week: 

• Schools are closed due to Columbus Day on Monday.
• We have an Armory visit on Tuesday. It is also our regular gym day so please makes sure your child is dressed for movement and is wearing sneakers for running. 
• Chapter 1 Math test on Wednesday. This test will focus on addition, subtraction and estimation.

Have a lovely long weekend!

Upcoming Week 5

Thanks to all who came in to help decorate Writers Notebooks! The kids are excited about the beautiful notebooks and we look forward to using the decorations as inspiration for our writing. Next week, once we had wrapped up our All About Me projects, we will begin our writing unit on Personal Narratives. This unit focuses on helping children write true stories from their lives with details and voice. Students will be challenged to write as storytellers, not just listing events. Dialogue and descriptive details will be added to our writing to help bring our stories to life. We will even look at how paragraphs can help us organize our details for our readers.

Today, your child is bringing home a Mid Chapter Checkpoint in their blue folder. This is a check in to help us gauge their progress in math. We will have our first Math test next Wednesday, October 10th. Please feel free to use the sheet to help review with your child. In class, we will continue to review estimation as we continue working on subtraction and reading word problems carefully. Here are some links to try if your child needs some extra practice:

• https://www.ixl.com/math/grade-3/subtract-numbers-up-to-three-digits
• https://www.ixl.com/math/grade-3/subtract-numbers-up-to-three-digits-word-problems

We have finished reading Tooter Pepperday and are now enjoying  its sequel, Blue Ribbon Blues. We are practicing comprehension strategies as we continue to think about how what we know about the character from the previous book can help us understand what is going on in the new book. 

Here's what else is happening next week: 

• On Wednesday, we will have our first visit to the Tiny Scientist. We had our first exciting Science lesson today and the children came up with some impressive observations as to why a Maglev train would rise, float and fall. 

Finally, thank you all for your support this week, with Curriculum Conferences, and our Writers Notebook launch. Have a wonderful weekend!

Week 3

We will have our first full week of school coming up! Luckily, our children have learned many routines so that the school days are running smoothly.


This week we began our social studies work by acquainting ourselves with the Seven Continents.












Our Math learning has begun in earnest as third graders learn how to juggle problems that require multiple steps and skills (estimating, then adding, etc.) Below are some links that might provide additional practice with some of the skills required for this work and the work next week.

• https://www.ixl.com/math/grade-3/rounding-nearest-ten-or-hundred-only
• https://www.ixl.com/math/grade-2/subtraction-equations-true-or-false

Here are some of our events to look out for next week:

• Curriculum Conferences will take place on Tuesday. Third grade will present in the MMR at 5:00- 5:25 pm. Afterwards, we will have an open classroom session during which you can come to visit the classroom and get to know about a typical school day for your child.
• Third graders will decorate their first Writers Notebook! Your child received instructions to gather pictures and flat mementoes to decorate our notebooks. We invite parents to come help us with the decorating on Friday, September 28 from 8:40-9:20 am. Please remember that you have to sign in at the main entrance before coming up to the classroom.

Have an excellent weekend!

Week 2

My thanks to you all for filling out the many forms that accompany the school year. If you have not sent in all the forms, no worries. please send them in as soon as you can next week. I also appreciate the notes sent in informing me of changes to dismissal procedures. It has made dismissal very smooth. 

The children have been doing a great job of getting into our school routines and many children have begun to take on task with independence. This week, we have worked on listening to all speakers with quiet bodies and open mind. Many students have also used a raised hand to show others they have something important to say. These are great habits to have as our children continue the school year. Please compliment your child and encourage them to keep up good listening habits. 

Here's some things to look out for next week:

• Monday and Tuesday will be our days with Ms. Donato, our new gym teacher. Please send your child to school on those days dressed for physical activity. Your child should wear sneakers.
• Schools will be closed on Wednesday for Yom Kippur.
• Children will bring home a Scholastic Book order on Monday. You can help your child order online at Scholastic.com using the code found on the front cover of the blue homework folder. If you are ordering using the paper form given out on Monday, please send in a check for the payment addressed to Scholastic Book Club.

Thank you and have an excellent weekend!

Welcome New Third Graders!

It's been a lovely start to the year as I have had the pleasure to meet many of you and your children! This class has been very sweet and they have been so excited to start learning. This week, we focused on daily routines and are easing back into group behaviors. Just in the past days, I have seen children become more mindful about their voices and how to listen carefully. This is a very promising start and I feel confident that we will have a great year together!

Please send in the dismissal form that was included in the back of the class summer letter if you have not already done so. There are also forms about neighborhood walks and photo/ video permission that will require your signature. Thank you for taking the time to complete those!

Please keep in mind the following for the next week:

• Schools will be closed on Monday and Tuesday for Rosh Hashanah.
• All About Me Bags are due on Wednesday, September 12. This assignment was given to your child on Thursday in a large Ziplock bag. It might great if you and your child looked for items together and talked about why these items are meaningful for your child. This will help your child write about these artifacts in class. 
• Students have begun to borrow books from our class library. It was suggested that students read the same book in class as they read at home so students should have their chapter books in their book bag when they are not reading them. We are reading fiction books to start our year and learning about important story elements like characters and plot. Students will learn to identify important information and make inferences about the characters and events they are reading about in the upcoming weeks. Our main read aloud will be Tooter Pepperday by Jerry Spinelli. 

Have a wonderful Rosh Hashanah weekend!

Welcome Summer!

It's been mad rush to finish but the summer vacation is in full swing! Many of you are already days into your travels and some are just enjoying these sunny days in the city. I hope that whatever your plans are, you and your child are enjoying it to the fullest.

Some families have asked what can be done so that your child maintains their learning through out the summer. Each child left the school on Tuesday with a blue social studies notebook repurposed for summer days. In each notebook are pages for practicing cursive writing, a reading menu and a writing menu. The menus have suggestions for writing entries but of course children can write and sketch whatever they want. It's just important to occasionally have a pencil in hand to keep those writing muscles strong. Many of the writing topics are about New York, which ties in to a large part of the fourth grade curriculum, the history of New York. As for reading, it's just important to keep reading!

If you are looking for books at your child's letter level or close to it, please check out the following link:  https://www.booksource.com/Departments/Booksource/Leveled-Reading/Collections-by-Level.aspx

As for math practice, you can always look on the math menu on the right side and check back on the links provided on the previous blog posts. Mastering multiplication and division facts will be essential for the fourth grade work that is ahead.

Finally, I want to thank you all for the amazing flowers, treats and cards generously given to me on the last days. I have appreciated most the support given throughout the year by our families and this has been a rewarding year on so many levels!

Have an amazing summer!

Week 38

Lately, there has been a lot of candy and gum being brought into class and eaten when it is not supposed to be. Please encourage your child not to do this and if necessary, do not provide your child with these treats.

There will no longer be a reading response sheet sent home for homework this week. This work will continue in class as we begin to make plans for each child's summer reading. Please continue to send back any library books borrowed from our classroom.

Here's what's happening next week:

• Schools are closed for a Clerical Day on Monday. 
• The class will perform their play on Thursday. Please look back at last week's post to see when your child will be performing.
• Thursday is also the day of the Father's Day Cookie Sale. All cookies will be $5.
• Schools will be closed on Friday for Eid al Fitr.

Have a lovely weekend!

Week 37

As we finish off this year, please encourage your child to return to the class any books borrowed from the class library.

Week 36

We've had an amazing week of activities. The music performance already feels like ages ago but we do have a video posted on our video bar of our performance. We followed that with DanceAfrica, which was amazing! The kids enthusiastically endorsed the show during our post show talk. Finally, we were blessed with beautiful weather for our annual Field Day. It's going to be hard to follow this week!

There are no Weekly Comments in the homework folder this week since we were at Field Day. The last set of comments will be put into homework folders next week. It has made a huge difference that you have taken the time to check up on your child's progress and sign the sheet weekly. Thank you for your support!

Here's what to expect next week:

• Schools are closed on Monday in observance of Memorial Day.
• In Theater class, Third Graders will work in teams to put on their first show. We will have our show coming soon on June 14th. Your child has been working to learn lines and should have them memorized by now. If not please help your child rehearse. 

Have an excellent long weekend!

Week 35

We are fast approaching the final month of school as our third graders prepare to make an important transition into fourth grade. We are still learning and many of the children have been very good about maintaining their great work habits!
