Hello B1 Families,
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Benchmark Reading Tests: Prior to Winter Break, the Benchmark tests and questions were read aloud to all students to help them get used to the format and types of questions on these tests. Now that we are about halfway through 3rd grade, students will be reading the tests and questions independently. Please encourage your student through this learning curve as they become more independent in their reading skills.
OUR WEEK AT A GLANCE
Math: This week we will be continuing module 3. Please make sure your child is practicing multiplication facts for at least 10 minutes a night. Students are working towards mastering their multiplication tables by the end of January. We will be focusing on lessons 21, 22, and 23.
Reader's Workshop: Students will continue working in our Benchmark books titled Advancements in Technology. We will continue our Reader's Workshop practices. These stations include small groups with the teacher, reading to self, responding to reading, writing, word work and technology. This will be our last week of unit 5 where we will be answering the essential question: what is the value of innovation? Students will be taking a benchmark test on Friday.
Writer's Workshop: Students will use what they learned last week about informational writing and independently write an informational paragraph on Martin Luther King Jr.
P.E.: Please dress appropriately on Wednesday for P.E this week.
Social Studies: Students will be learning working on week 26 in Studies Weekly. Week 26 focuses on transportation over time. Students will learn about transportation on land, water, and in the air. We will learn about how technology has improved transportation over time.
Science: Students will be focusing on making sense of variation of different species. We will be looking at how wolves may vary depending on their specific traits.
