Welcome to the second week of third grade! We had a great week getting to know each other and getting used to the classroom routines. This week, we will begin getting into more curriculum. I am looking forward to meeting everyone at Open House! Have a great week!
Reading
Students will continue to talk about themselves as readers. We will discuss how and why we choose books. Each student has chosen an independent reading book in the classroom and will continue reading that this week. Students should continue recording their reading on the September calendar. Our current read-aloud book is called Justin Case, School, Drool and Other Daily Disasters by Rachel Vail. It is really funny and we are enjoying it a lot!
Writing
This week, we will continue to talk about writer's notebooks. We will create memory maps for ideas for our writer's notebook entry. This will lead us into our first writing unit, personal narrative. We will also be decorating the covers, so please make sure your child bring in supplies!
Math
We are working on the first unit called Numeration. The focus is on base ten numbers and place value.
Students will begin getting math homework on Monday.
Social Studies
We will begin a unit on geography, focusing on map skills this week.
Homework:
Monday-Thursday: Read 20 minutes and record on calendar; one math sheet per night
