3C’s Monday Memo
November 23, 2015
.Math: This week we will continue working
on multiplication. Be sure to ask your child
about the 9’s trick!
Multiplication.com is a fun sight to practice.
Memorizing math facts is very important in
3rd grade. REFLEX is available at home, 7
days a week.
Science: We will continue the natural phases
unit over the sun, moon, and earth. We will
discuss the concept of why we have tides and
review all concepts covered to date.
Reading:
This week we are focusing on fluency and
will be using How the Moon Regained Her
Shape Readers’ Theater and learning about
compound words to build vocabulary.
Word Study
This week is week 2 with choice on Tuesday
and practice test on Thursday. The new
choice list is glued in the notebook. If you
have time, sorting nightly helps students that
need extra practice.
Writer’s Workshop: We will continue
working on writing a persuasive story. The
students will be a gingerbread cookie trying
to persuade humans to NOT eat them. I am
thinking possibly about ending the unit with
decorating gingerbread cookies if any parents
are willing to provide cookies, frosting, and
toppings.
Star Students: This week’s star students
are Austin and Jonathan! We look forward
to them sharing their posters and any extra
pictures of favorite memories they would like
to share.
Announcements:
Short week – school on Monday and
Tuesday only.
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.
Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy your
time with family and friends.
