I can't believe it's May and the LAST month of school, the last four weeks of third grade for your child!
Reminders:
It's a good time to remind your child to go through their backpack! Some students have been emptying their winter weather gear (or other miscellaneous stuff) from their lockers to take home.
Curriculum:
Math: We'll continue working on word problems. As they get trickier and involve more steps to solve, we will work to break them down so they do not seem so overwhelming.
Writing: Has your child told you about their fairy tale adaptation yet? Ask them to! In the middle of the week, students will be writing another one, but this time they get to choose any fairy tale to change. This might be a fun time to storytell with them of some fairy tales (Three Little Pigs, Goldilocks, Jack and the Bean Stalk, Hansel and Gretel, etc.)
Reading: Our readers have been thinking deeply about their books and what lessons the story is trying to teach -- yup, they were searching for more than one lesson as they read! To continue push your child's thinking at home, you could ask, "What lesson is your book trying to teach? What makes you think that? Are there any other lessons?"
As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
