Hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend. I'm waiting for the Super Bowl to begin and of course, I've already enjoyed numerous snacks!! Thanks goodness I have friends and family who will help eat them ,too!!
This week is a review week for Reading Street, so they will be no Spelling test on Friday. We will be reviewing throughout the week. We will be working on LOTS of writing skills, such as adding adjectives to our writing pieces. I have popcorn activities planned, (for writing you ask!!) and thinking about a time they were sick, just to name a few. We will have Unit 7/9 Math test on Friday, Feb.10. Your child will be bringing home study guides, which we will complete in class. In Science we will continue to learn about soil.
Hope to see you at the PTA Valentines Dance on Friday!!

Greetings on this gray and rainy Sunday. I was talking to a friend in Florida and she was rubbing it in that is was about 75 degrees and sunny skies. I don't think she should be my friend anymore!!
Our story for the week is "A Symphony of Whales." It is a story about whales that were stranded in Siberia in the 1980s. I've seen commercials for a new movie with Drew Barrymore about a community saving whales. I wonder if it is the same as our story? Spelling will be words with suffixes and we will begin a new unit about soil in Science. I will be introducing 3 strategies for solving double digit multiplication problems. Please continue to work on multiplication facts with your child.
Until next week!

We will work on graphic sources, labels, diagrams, captions, just to name a few. With the shorten week, many students were unable to finish their writing assignment,so we continue with the Indian myths/legends. We will be writing a good lead sentence, learning spelling strategies and writing unforgettable endings. Our Unit 6 Math test is scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 17. Third grade combines Unit 7 and Unit 9 in Math so lots of multiplication and division will be up and coming!!!

We made it through our first week back from vacation but most importantly..can we make it through 5 days this week!!! Our Reading Street story this week is called "Pushing Up the Sky." It is a play from an Indian myth.I enjoy the story and I hope the students do ,too. The Comprehension Skill is Literary Elements: Character, Setting, and Plot so for our weekly writing, I will give the students another Indian legend to read and complete a writing assignment on the Literary Elements of their myth. I have myths on why the owl has big eyes, how the crow came to be black and why the possum's tail is bare, just to name a few. I love this stuff!! Polygons will still be the focus in Math and we continue to learn about government in Social Studies.
