3C’s Monday Memo November 2, 2015 . Math: We will review for the addition/subtraction test on Wednesday. Thursday we will take the unit test. Friday we will review telling time.

Social Studies: This week we will discuss using cardinal and intermediate directions on a map, using grid maps, and reviewing all vocabulary. Next Monday will be a class review day and the Unit Geography Test will be Tuesday, November 10th. Reading: New reading logs will be in your child’s binder. This quarter ALL areas must be filled out under the correct genre. To receive a 4, 10 books and a completely filled out log needs to be handed in. Thanks for your help at home. Word Study This week is week 2 with a practice test on Thursday for homework and a test on Friday. A new choice list will begin the following week. If you have time, sorting nightly helps students that need extra practice. Writer’s Workshop: We will be working on using to, two, & too, a & an, and no & know correctly. In addition, students will complete Halloween stories, poems, and free write. Star Students: None this week. I am still missing posters for students that haven’t shared yet. We look forward to them sharing their posters and any extra pictures of favorite memories they would like to share. Announcements: ASAP begins Wednesday, November 4th. 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!
