What We Learned This Week

Language Arts: We have started reading The Hundred Dresses which will help to reinforce our P2 traits that we have discussed all year. It's a great book for the end of 3rd grade! Students will be working independently and in small groups to discuss and respond to their reading. 

Writing: Our final writing unit will focus on writing an opinion essay. This essay will center around Michigan topics. 

Math: We have completed our two-step number stories and all other units for the year. For the remainder of the year, we will work on fun, application activities to reinforce standards from the year. 

Social Studies: Students loved learning about economics through short videos and discussions about scarcity, opportunity cost, consumption, and production. Our final unit will focus on big industry in Michigan. 

Don't forget to read!

 20 - 25 minutes a night minimum will set your student up for an amazing future. Check out this graphic to recognize the importance of reading. A missed day of reading can never be made up.

Don't forget...

• Continue practicing multiplication facts.. The ability to recall facts is reported on report cards. We still have one trimester to memorize facts so keep working!

• There are no drinking fountains at school. Bring a refillable water bottle to school each day. 

• Earbuds/Earphones are an essential part of learning. Many students do not have working earbuds at school. We have some available for student use but students often do not like how they feel.
