We had a wonderful week of school last week! We spent this week diving into our core subjects. They are making good progress adjusting to being back in school. I hope your child enjoys sharing with you what they are learning in class! We have been gradually learning about the expectations of a third grade student. As the weeks go on, I anticipate the students will have an increased ability to focus, follow directions, and develop their speaking and listening skills.
This week I plan to listen to each child read to determine their reading level establishing reading goals. I hope to finish assessing the class by the end of next week.
This Week We Will Focus On:
- Reading Comprehension Focus
- Students will be listening to two stories by the same author and compare the two stories
- Students will learn how illustrations support a text
- Students apply comprehension focus/strategies to independent reading.
- Homework: Students should be reading 20-30 minutes daily.
- Last week the students learned multiple addition strategies to help solve addition equations. This week we will continue to build upon the strategies learned last week. Then we focus on subtraction strategies.
Science: Chapter 1 - Students will be learning how scientists investigate questions.
Social Studies:
- We are currently working on Science and will switch to Social Studies very soon.
Thursday Folders
- Thursday folders will go home each Thursday. This folder will store graded work and parent information. Please remove papers, sign and return.
Binder:
Students have received a planner which is stored in their take home binders. Please view the students nightly and initial it.
