Important Dates: 9-8: Unit Assessment on Addition and Subtraction Strategies 9-10: BOG Test for third graders 9-15: Open House 6:00 - 7:30 9-22: Progress Reports go Home 9-23: Teacher Workday Tuesday folders have gone home today. Inside, there is a Principal’s Update from Mrs. Stone, Scholastic Book Orders (see below) and various math work from the week. Be sure to always sign and return any papers that are on the right side of the folder! ELA: We have been learning about asking and answering questions about reading. As readers, we do this naturally, but students need gentle reminders to ask and answer questions while they read. Students have learned why we ask questions before, during, and after reading. This week continue to practice asking questions with your students. You can show them that you do it as well! Writing: In writing we have been choosing small moments to write about. A small moment is described as one place, one thing, one time. See below for an example of a small moment. Encourage your writer to zoom in to small/seed moments! We are continuing to work on personal narratives throughout the rest of the 1st quarter. We will begin focusing on creating good beginnings/leads and good endings. Math:
This week we are finishing our addition and subtraction unit in math. We are taking the assessment on Wednesday, September 9. Our next unit will be on rounding and estimating. Students will have to be able to round two and three-digit numbers to the tens and hundreds. We will be learning how to use the number line to help us round. It is important that students understand how rounding works, so we will not be teaching them the rounding rules. Instead, students will be determining what the rules should be based on the number’s distance from the benchmarks on the number line. Vocabulary:
Round to the Nearest Ten Round to the Nearest Hundred Social Studies: We will be continuing our study of geography with a focus on the regions of North Carolina (Mountains, Piedmont, Coastal). The students will be learning about the different features of the three regions. Next week they will be completing a project of their choice in class about a specific region.
