We have had a lot of fun playing Text Structure games this week. The
class has learned all 5 structures that authors use to organize their
writing. We played a guessing game using QR codes, as well as a
domino match and I have, who has game to help the students apply
their new knowledge to real stories and passages.
In math the students are beginning module 5 which teaches them
about division. The students will work with fact families to connect
how multiplication and division are related. Please continue working
on the multiplication facts of 2, 4, 5, and 10 at home.
Did you hear that your child is allowed to write in cursive now?!?! The
students all passed the cursive test and are enjoying the new
challenge of writing in cursive. It is taking them a little more time to
write, but with practice, they will increase their speed and accuracy.
To go along with our study of stars in science, the students are
creating their own constellations. Each student is naming, describing,
and drawing their own constellation by using reference books, science
books, and their own imagination!
Thank you for your generous donations to our needy family.
The 3rd grade raised over $600 and we were able to
purchase EVERYTHING off their wish list. We also were able
to help another family in need- way to go!
