August 25-29
Hello Grown-Ups and Students,
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Volunteer Survey: If you would like to volunteer in the classroom this year, please fill out this quick survey.
Please click on the link: https://forms.gle/GmWKWuWz5tRKRVCx6
Supplies: If your child brought supplies for themselves, like a personal pencil box, they will be asked to put them in their backpacks at the end of each day. Any other supplies such as notebooks, drawing pads, sticky notes, etc must stay at home. We have very small desks and having extra supplies makes it hard to stay organized and can become a distraction.
Back-to-School Night: Wednesday, September 3rd will be our Back-to-School Night. It will begin at 6:00 p.m. in the MPR. Please save the date for this very important evening.
Chromebooks: Students will begin working with their Chromebooks this week. The school will provide one pair of headphones for each child, however your child is more than welcome to bring their own small headphones to keep in the classroom.
OUR WEEK AT A GLANCE
Math: This week, students will begin working in their Learn and Apply Books. Students must travel with their Apply Book to and from school each day. Books must stay in good working condition. Students will connect their understanding of equal groups and repeated addition to multiplication.
Reader's Workshop: This week we will review ELA concepts learned in 2nd grade. Students will begin to practice 3rd grade skills such as reading to self, listening to someone else read, reading with a partner and using technology to practice reading.
Writer's Workshop: This week, students will learn about the 3rd grade writing process. They will be writing about themselves and why they are excited for 3rd grade. Students begin with a rough draft, go through an editing process, and end with a final draft.
Social Studies: This week, students will begin Week 1: Continuity and Change in our Studies Weekly curriculum. This week we will learn about the inquiry process and how we use it to study history.
P.E.: Please dress appropriately on Monday for P.E. every week. Make sure your child is wearing shoes and clothing that they can be active in! Please remember to pack a water bottle.
