3C’s Monday Memo
January 18, 2016
Math:
This week students will be learning about
probability.
4 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.
Word Study
First week of words. Choice on Tuesday and
Thursday. Test on Thursday, January 28th.
Writer’s Workshop:
The class newspaper will be released soon.
Waiting on one more article. This week we
are working on dictionary guide words,
singular/plural nouns, and free write.
Please discuss skills that your child misses
on Daily Language sheets to help them apply
it to their own writing.
Announcements:
Social Studies: We will complete the ancient
Mali unit this week. The quiz for the unit will
be on Thursday (tomorrow). Then the
students will be working on an alternative
social studies assessment (takes the place of
SOL) over the Mali on Friday and Monday.
This is not graded and used for school
reflection.
Reading:
Thursday we will read and discuss our
Scholastic News. Tuesday, I have completed
the first round of administering DRA reading
level tests.
All students have been tested and have
completed or are working on the written
portion. Current levels will be included on
the next report card. A score of 34 or higher
is on or above grade level.
Please make sure your child is carefully
reading Raz Kids and looking for the
answers.. It is a good idea to go over the
missed questions one on one to help prepare
for the SOL test.
.
PE is on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.
Please have your child wear gym shoes on
those days. We are having problems with the
changing of shoes.
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
