3C’s Monday Memo
October 19, 2015
.
Math: We will continue the addition/subtraction
unit. This week we will work on Subtraction and
how it relates to addition for checking your
answer.
Your childe should have brought home the SOL
math workbook. We reuse them every year so
please do not let them wrote in them. Use them
for test review questions and sometimes I may
assign pages for homework and the answers will
go in the math notebook.
Memorizing math facts is very important in 3rd
grade. REFLEX is available at home, 7 days a
week.
Science: The Matter Unit will flow into the water
cycle unit this week. The Matter Unit/Water
Cycle Test will be on Tuesday, October 23th. The
study guide and notes are glued in the notebook. I
will be sending home their notebooks to review
notes nightly.
Reading: This week’s focus will continue to be
understanding fiction and identifying character
traits to build comprehension when meeting in
guided reading groups. In addition, we will have
Scholastic News and Readers’ Theater for the
water cycle.
Most students are making great progress on their
reading logs. Please have them continue filling in
if they have reached 8 books. Four students have
already completed the entire log! Thanks for your
help at home.
Word Study
This week is week two with choice on Tuesday
and practice test on Thursday. Please encourage
your child to choose something new. If you have
time, sorting nightly helps students that need
extra practice.
Writer’s Workshop: We will be working on our
Spooky House stories that we began a couple of
weeks ago. It will be a nice break from the hard work
they put forth on the personal narrative pieces. I am so
proud of each student’s work! Using I and me
correctly has been a big focus for us as a class. : )
Their cursive is looking great too!
Star Students: Cayden & Tatem!!!!
We look forward to them sharing their posters and any
extra pictures of favorite memories they would like to
share.
Announcements:
On Friday, the students may bring a board game to
play for our current Mr. Potato Head reward.
The Lowes Island PTO and SCA are teaming up to
collect canned goods for LINK and shelf stable milk
and protein items for the Backpack Buddy Program.
Fundraising will begin October 19th and end October
30th. Please have your child bring in your families
donation to the boxes in the front of the school. Thank
you for your donation!
On October 21st we are asking Lowes Island students
and families to wear ORANGE to promote Unity Day!
Unity Day is about making a safe and supportive
school and community. Lowes Island is united
against bullying and united for kindness, acceptance
and inclusion.
One of the ways I love to get to know my students is
by watching what they do outside of school. If I can
work it into my schedule, I would like to come to your
child’s game, recital, etc. If you send me the schedule
for the event, I will try to work it into mine.
Thanks for working with me to make sure the students
have nutritional snacks. Thanks for signing the
planner daily and helping with homework as well!
If you have read this memo, print out a copy and sign
for your child. He/she will receive an extra sticker for
good behavior chart!! Due Tuesday morning.
Have a great week! Mrs. Feddersen
