Hello B1 Families,
OUR WEEK AT A GLANCE
Math: Students will be coming home on Monday with their math quiz from last week. It will be graded. Students are expected to correct any problems they missed on a separate sheet of paper. Please staple the corrections to the original test and sign it. These corrections are due on Friday.
On Friday, students will have their second math quiz. This quiz will cover lessons 6-9. I will review these lessons in class on Thursday. Your child will come home Thursday night with a completed study guide. Please assist them with reviewing the problems, studying is their homework. The assessment given will be very similar to the study guide.
Reader's Workshop: We will begin our Benchmark curriculum Unit 1: Government for the People. Our focus will be answering the essential question: Why do people participate in government? We will also be learning how to identify and annotate the main idea and key details of different texts.
Writer's Workshop: Students will continue to work on their Excited for 3rd Grade writing. Their goal is to finish their final drafts in their best third grade printing. We will also begin our first narrative titled My Summer. Students will write about their summer experiences!
Science: The first unit of study for our class will be Balancing Forces. Students will explore how floating trains work. After seeing an animated video of a floating train, students will explore what could be making the train float and what could make it fall back to the track.
Social Studies: This week, students will continue with Week 3 in our Studies Weekly curriculum. This week we will learn about examining evidence and communicating conclusions. They will think examine how to find, interpret and present information.
P.E.: Please dress appropriately on Monday and Thursday for P.E./Dance class every week.
