Reading: Our first unit, Self- Monitoring, is a quick review of reading strategies and routines. We'll work through this over the next couple of weeks. Students will receive their 40 Book Challenge assignment this week.
Writing: Students will publish "Definition Poems" onto their Student Blogs. If you get a chance, ask your child if they can name the 14 Building Blocks to Success that we've been studying over these past two weeks. All of the building blocks came from our first read aloud, Inch and Miles: The Journey to Success. They will also share their "My Buddy and Me" essay in class.
Math: We will begin our first math unit today. Unit 1: Place Value and Multi-Digit Addition and Subtraction reviews concepts taught in second grade and introduces students to third grade's routines and expectations. Students are grouped based on NWEA, math pre-tests, and exit slips. Corresponding Home Links will be sent home for homework each night this week. Your child should keep their Home Link packet in his/her green Homework folder. Home Links are always available on the Third Grade Website (TGW) if your child loses or misplaces their packet.
Social Studies: On Tuesday, we'll begin our first Social Studies Unit: Before Chicago. Students will read a leveled text about a Native American tribe, and they well participate in small group discussions/activities around the text. You can read more about the unit on the TGW.
