Important Dates/Information
I don't think I've ever been so excited to get back to school! Our third graders have had such a crazy last month that the transition back to typical school days will be tough for all. Talking as a family about behavior expectations during school will be a huge help for everyone. We have a lot to get to before the end of January. It will be a rewarding yet challenging experience! Donation Requests: -gallon sized plastic bags (to hep organize our audiobook and word work stations) -healthy individually packaged snacks (for those students who forget snack) Missing Audio book! We are on the great audio book hunt! We are currently missing The Magic Treehouse books 25-29 from the library. If you somehow ended up with it at home (or overnight drivers it might possibly be in your cars) please go ahead and return it to the public library. Thank you so much! Homework for this week: -Read each night for at least 20 minutes -Spelling words Just a quick update for this week, since it was a one day school week: Math On Tuesday, we thankfully were able to do our geometry assessment. Tomorrow we will slowly ease into multiplication by reviewing some geometry components that many students struggled with, doing corrections, and then talking about groups of things! Literacy On Tuesday, we did a quick guided reading group activity. We have been focusing on being able to answer questions from a text that we are reading. We also began to look at word choice using a book called "Two Bad Ants." We listened to the story, created a picture in our mind, and briefly talked about how choosing words carefully will paint a picture in our readers' minds. Expedition It was our very first trip to the computer lab! It was exciting and the students did awesome. I am looking forward to making more trips down there in the coming weeks. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments!
