3C’s Monday Memo
January 11, 2016
Math:
We will complete the geometry unit. Please
use notes and worksheets to help your child
prepare for the test. Test will be on Friday
online during computer lab. I will begin to do
some tests online to prepare for SOL tests.
Students can get extra practice on SOL
teacher under math then choose from shapes,
lines/angles, & congruent. This site is
available on the LIES web page.
3 students have reached 100% math fact
fluency on REFLEX! I have written your
student’s progress % in the planner today. I
am recommending some students to use the
site every night at home.
Memorizing math facts is very important in
3rd grade. REFLEX is available at home, 7
days a week.
Social Studies: We will complete the ancient
Rome unit this week. The students are
noticing there are many similarities to
ancient Greece! The quiz for the unit will be
on Tuesday. On Wednesday, we will begin
the final ancient civilization, Mali.
Reading:
Monday we will read and discuss our
Scholastic News. Tuesday, I will begin
administering DRA reading level tests.
During this week, students will be working
on an ancient Rome poster when not working
on the test.
Please make sure your child is carefully
reading Raz Kids and looking for the
answers. The scores have been low. It is a
good idea to go over the missed questions
one on one to help prepare for the SOL test. I
will be writing the reading benchmark test
score in the planners. Many need to see
improvement in that area.
Word Study
Second week of words. Choice on Tuesday
and practice test on Thursday. Test on
January 15th.
Writer’s Workshop:
We will be working on a class newspaper to
practice all of the writing skills we have been
working on. Please discuss skills that your
child misses on Daily Language sheets to
help them apply it to their own writing.
Announcements:
Please make sure your child has a warm
jacket and mittens on these colder days.
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
