Hello! Just a quick reminder that we have class pictures Tuesday, Feb. 23, as well as individual Spring pictures for anybody that orders them.
Here is a look at our learning goals for the week:
Reading: We will be reading the last chapters of The BFG. Over the following few days, the students will be recalling and retelling events in order to determine the plot, events, and solutions of the story. We will then be watching the movie and comparing and contrasting the two different versions.
Word Work: The students will be identifying and using the prefixes mon- and di- to determine the meaning of words. They will also have practice with similes.
Math: We will be wrapping up our multiplication practice and completing the test on Wednesday. The students will then be investigating the beginning of fractions.
Science: In our small reading groups, each student will be reading about the ways that humans are part of Earth's story. They will be using this information for writing.
Have a great week!

First Week of February!
Reading: We are continuing the book, The BFG, by Roald Dahl. We will be working on visualizing (picturing what is happening in the story) this week.
Word World: Contractions
Spelling: Unit 20, Words with /j/ and /s/
Math: The students are continuing their work with multiplication. They've been practicing the Distributive Property of Multiplication (the students are breaking apart a multiplication equation into parts they know, and then they are adding the products together), as well as other various strategies.
Writing: This week, we are focusing specifically on the Idea trait of writing. We are staying on one topic and further exploring that theme.
To help you with knowing how your kiddo is doing on his/her assignments, we've started writing the percentages in their planners and circling them (beside the initial place that we wrote the assignment). I know that you receive a lot of papers from home, and I am also aware that you may not always get your child's work. It is difficult to communicate what paperwork we do each day. I hope that this helps clarify your third-grader's work. Please talk to your child about showing you his/her work in order to keep you updated and to celebrate the successes.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you!
