Hello Everyone!
Students have been LOVING learning about the world, different countries, and our state in researcher's workshop! Feel free to continue these conversations at home. They love to hear about different places and find them on a map. We even explored Google Earth this week too!
Reminders:
- Check out the Homecoming Week dress up days below! Some dress up days have changed since last week
- If you are looking to do some fall cleaning and get rid of clothes your child has grown out of, our Health Office is taking donations. They are in need of all sizes of pants, but especially sizes 8-10.
- It's starting to be quite chilly in the mornings. Please remind your child to be bringing a jacket or sweatshirt, as it is usually still cold for at least their first recess.
- Handbook forms were sent home this week. If you haven't yet, please sign and return them!

Curriculum:
Math: We've been working hard at really understanding what multiplication means! Here's a link to a video about multiplication and how it progresses over the years for students. It is 6 minutes long, but the first 3 and a half minutes is talking specifically about third grade.
Writing: I was so impressed with how much our writers improved in their small moment stories! They really tried to get the reader to feel like they were right there with them in their story. Check out Seesaw to hear your child's latest story! Next week we will start drafting our information (all-about) books and thinking about how to structure or organize them in a way that makes sense.
Reading: Readers have been learning so much and teaching so much! A big goal for this unit is to have students think about the main idea of a chunk that they're reading or a chapter. For example, instead of saying the topic -- "frog's bodies," we want students to say the main idea -- "frog's bodies help them survive."
As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
