Week of November 16th

 

Personal Message

As a 3rd grade team, we feel face-to-face instruction is very important! We love teaching your student! Cases are increases drastically in our area. and yet we know our students are having many play dates on half-days and in the evenings. Please remember that being in school provides your child with not only an education but also the social interactions and social-emotional learning that you want for your student. During this pandemic, we would love for you to allow the school to be your child's social time and time outside of school for you to be together as a family. It could make the difference in keeping us at school vs. remote learning. We know you are fatigued but we have to do our part for a while longer. Please let us know if we can help in any way.

Important Dates

November 25-27th-No school, Thanksgiving Break

                                                                

Multiplication Facts

 Students will be writing flashcards for each multiplication fact. It is important to note that students will need to bring their flashcards back and forth from home and school. Please have the 0's,1's, and 2's memorized by Monday. Next week will work on 10's! Remember, harder facts will come later so this is a great time to build your child's self-esteem and confidence with math facts. Let them know they are AMAZING right now and they are doing GREAT!

We would greatly appreciate donations of note-cards (3 by 5) for all three classes!

Reminders

• Students need to bring their water bottles every day.
• Students need to bring a snack every day.
• We are good on extra snacks right now--thank you so very much for your donations!

What We Learned This Week

In Language Arts, we read the book 'Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving. Students worked with this fiction text to find cause and effect and the sequence of events.

Students have been continuing their personal narrative writing! Students have brainstormed ideas as well as feelings to write about for their personal narrative. They will complete a graphic organizer, write a rough draft, and publish this writing by the end of the unit!

Math was focused on continued practice of multiplication and division! Students worked with word problems to equally share different objects. We have practiced creating arrays for both multiplication and division now. We also finished our WINN cycle for elapsed time and reassessed.
