Hi parents!
We are having so much fun in
3rd grade! It's been a blast getting to know your child better. This past week
we have been doing a lot of the reminding of what it's like to be in a
classroom setting again. We are doing great. Thanks to all of those who came to
parent night.
This week:
Math: We are going back to
place value, which is the value of a digit depending of it's place in a number.
We will be working with numbers up to 100,000. Check out this SheppardSoftware
for some fun games on place value that students can work on at home. http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/math.htm#placevalue
LA: In Language Arts, we will
be focusing on the elements of a story. Character, setting, plot, as well as
the basic sequence of a story. Think Beginning, Middle, and end. Please note that sometime this week or Week
3, your child will be taking the MAP Language Arts test. This is a new test to third graders as
they do not have to take it in K-2. This assessment tests their knowledge of
the writing process, and their basic knowledge of grammar.
Science: IT'S TIME FOR HEALTH
in Science!! What a perfect time of the year to discuss germs, and the
importance of washing hands.
Homework: This week ALL classes
will be sending home homework. A page of math homework, and reading 20 minutes
per night. Please sign in their agendas and write the name of the book that
they read on the same bottom line for that day.
