3C’s Monday Memo
April 18, 2016
Math: This week we will be learning about the
measurement capacity. Students may want to
bring in examples of liters, cups, pints, quarts, or
gallons of empty containers.
Memorizing math facts is very important in 3rd
grade. REFLEX has begun. User name is
kfedders and then students will need their birth
date month/date. Also, Dreambox can be
completed at home any day of the week and
allows your child to work at his/her level.
Social Studies: We will begin the soil unit. Notes
will be in the science notebook and students will
have study cards for their binder to review
nightly.
Reading: This week’s focus is using context
clues to figure out the meaning of unknown
words and using guide words in the dictionary.
th
A 4 quarter reading log will be in the binder too.
Your child should have the Reading Log and Raz
Kids log in the homework binder for easy access
so you can monitor progression. Some students
have already completed the reading log!
Word Study 2nd week of words – choice on
Tuesday and on practice test on Thursday. Please
check your child’s spelling, have them correct
any mistakes, and sign both assignment and
planner.
Writer’s Workshop:. Our current writing
project is drafting a fractured fairytale. This is
usually the students’ favorite unit, and I know it
is mine! We are getting a slow start on it but the
students really have some creative ideas!
We will also begin to practice for SOL language
test by completing released tests together.
Announcements:
Please turn in papers for field trips in you haven’t
done so. I will probably pull out names for chaperones
on Friday.
PE is on M, T & TH please be sure your child has
appropriate shoes. Please have your child wear
them to school – changing hasn’t been working out.

etc. they would like me to attend, please send dates
and times. I would love to see them and will try to
work it into my schedule. : )
