Please make sure your child brings a pair of wired headphones to school as soon as possible. We use headphones every day for learning activities, and unfortunately, we do not have enough extras to provide for everyone in the classroom. Having their own set will ensure your child can fully participate and stay engaged. Thank you so much for helping us make sure all students are prepared for daily learning!

In 3rd grade last week, we were busy readers and writers! We learned how text and graphic features help us, practiced retelling by identifying the main idea and key ideas, spotted point of view, and dug into characters, setting, and plot. In grammar, we became noun experts—finding them, capitalizing them, and knowing the difference between common and proper. What a week of growing brains!

This week students will be learning...

Reading-Students will identify Text and Graphic Features (TEKS 3.10C), Retell (TEKS 3.6G, 3.7D), Point of View (TEKS 3.10E), Literary Elements (TEKS 3.8B, 3.8D, 3.10B). 

Grammar-Student will identify Singular and Plural Nouns (TEKS 3.11Diii), Plural Nouns with -s (TEKS 3.11Diii), Plural Nouns with -s and -es (TEKS 3.11Diii)

Decoding-Students will decode long o spellings (TEKS:  3.2Ai, 3.2Aiv).

This week the students will be learning...

• I can order numbers from least to greatest and greatest to least (TEKS 3.2D)

• I can represent a number on a number line and describe its location relative to another number. (TEKS 3.2C & 3.2B)

• I can round numbers to estimate solutions of addition and subtraction problems. (TEKS 3.4B)

We will be having our Unit 1 place value test this Thursday (9/11) !

The student knows that matter has measurable physical properties that determine how matter is identified, classified, changed, and used. The student is expected to demonstrate that materials can be combined based on their physical properties to create or modify objects such adding clay to sand to make a stronger brick and justify the selection of materials based on their physical properties. 3.6D Matter and energy. 

**We will have a district TEKS Check on Friday that covers Chapter 2 of our online Text book instead of having our normal lesson review assessment. We will review in class on Thursday. If you want to review at home students can look back over their lesson reviews online that we have taken each Friday. Some of the questions are similar if not the same. :)

The student understands how individuals, events, and ideas have influenced the history of various communities. The student is expected to describe how individuals, including Daniel Boone, and the Founding Fathers have contributed to the expansion of existing communities or to the creation of new communities. 3.1C HISTORY. 

**No Assessment this Friday, We are creating a Founding Fathers Project this week instead.
