Third grade is a big year for taking tests, but luckily for your child, the end is in sight! Our last "chromebook" tests are this week. I told students that as long as they try their best that's what matters. And if they try their best, we will celebrate with watching a movie on Friday :)
The movie they chose was Hotel for Dogs, a movie about two kids who take in stray dogs at a vacant hotel. It is rated PG. Please let me know if you have any concerns with your child watching the movie.
Reminders:
We have our pet supplies drive this week! Refer to the pink note sent home for questions on what can and cannot be donated
Curriculum:
Math: We've been working all week on solving word problems, and today students even made their own little lists on what they do when they get a problem. Be sure to ask them about it. Some had 4, 5, or even 16 steps to solve!
Writing: This week we talked about having little writing "cabins" where we can do our work to meet our deadline. This second fairy tale adaption is due Thursday. You can check in to see where your child's at in the writing process.
Reading: We started our social issue clubs. Be sure to talk to your child about the issue they are learning more about and how they can use this knowledge to live their lives differently.
As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
