Dear Parents,
Our Third Graders have been working hard these weeks to learn structures and routines that will help them strive throughout the school year. We would also like to inform you that they will be working for the first time on their MAP Tests for Reading and Math these two upcoming weeks. Please keep in mind that this is an assessment that will help us know about your child’s learned skills. Do not create a stressful environment for them at home because of this.
Our mathematicians completed an addition table to review basic addition facts and discuss patterns among them. Please keep reinforcing reading time at home. Help your child choose a nice and cozy reading spot to read for 30 minutes every day and to record their reading in their Reading Log.
Learning Goal
Readers will draw on many elements to come up with predictions as they read. And as they continue to read they reexamine their predictions in light of new information. Readers will also, include details on how they think these predictions might happen. When retelling, readers will learn to retell books as a way to lay the story out for others so it can be a topic for discussion.
Learning Goal
Redacción y edición de narrativa personal.
Los escritores revisarán y editarán sus narrativas personales enfocándose en la parte más importante de la historia. También agregarán diálogos para dar fuerza a su historia.
En casa los escritores agregarán detalles a sus narrativas y se enfocarán en lo más importante de la historia elimininando detalles irrelevantes.
Learning Goal
Students solve problems that involve realtional thinking.
We will introduce work places that provide more work with relational thinking, and allows for subtraction fact practice. Students will review and explore three subtraction strategies; Take Half, Up to Ten, Leftover Facts.
Talk to your child about the Subtraction Facts the learned at school, ask them to show you examples of: Take Half, Up to Ten, Leftover Facts. Home connections for this week: Of Mice & Moles
Learning Goal
Young scientists have launched the unit by studying, oberving, and investigating ants. They will engage in a research about ants. They will look for patterns in the colony that they observe. They will pay attentions to details as to color, size, movement, and behavior.
Have students help create a habitat by filling the jar with alternating layers of soil and sand.
Gently place the ants in the jar and seal the top with a breathable cover.
Over the course of a week, students can observe how the ants dig tunnels, gather food, and interact with each other.
Learning Goal
Friends and learners will be learning the Peace place steps to solve conflicts.
Friends and learners will practice peace place steps to solve conflicts and relaxation strategies from the Relaxation station to lower the level of their emotions to activate their thinking brain.
Follow the Peace Place steps with your parents at home if any problem happens
