3C’s Monday Memo
November 2, 2015
.
Math: This week we are working on
counting coins and working with money. It
would be a good idea to give your child a
handful of coins and have him/her count
them up for you!
If you don’t already have multiplication flash
cards, I would purchase a set for your
student. Multiplication starts November 16th.
Memorizing math facts is very important in
3rd grade. REFLEX is available at home, 7
days a week.
Social Studies: Today we reviewed for the
Geography unit test and the students need to
review the notes and chapter 1 in the Our
World book. Test is tomorrow. Wednesday
we will be learning about Veteran’s Day and
then on Thursday we will begin the natural
phases unit over the sun, moon, and earth.
Reading:
This week we are focusing on vocabulary
and cause and effect.
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 1 with choice on Tuesday
and Thursday. The new choice list will be
glued in the notebook. If you have time,
sorting nightly helps students that need extra
practice.
Writer’s Workshop: We will be working
on writing poetry this week.
Star Students: This week’s girl star
student is Caroline. No boys turned a
poster. I am still missing posters for both
boys and girls 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:
Wear Red, White, and Blue on Wednesday.
American Education Week is next week,
November 20th.
8:00 - 8:30 Book Fair
8:30 - 9:00 AEW Lesson
ASAP this week!
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
