I love these kids!
Marissa has received an "Eagle Eye" card TWICE now! She is such a sweet, helpful girl!
On Wednesday we celebrated Avery's birthday. If you know Avery, you should count yourself as lucky. She is kind, helpful, sweet, funny, and as cute as a button!
Annika was our amazing Star Helper this week. Her she is making some candy corn arrays! I love when math and treats go together ;)
I am loving the fall colors in view from our playground. Isn't Fall just the best?!
Evan was rocking a stylin' new haircut!
Easton and TJ were twins on Monday! And they didn't even plan it!
This week in reading our genre is Historical Fiction. We will be reading "The Castle on Hester Street," "Next Stop, America,' and "Sailing to America." Our essential question is" Why do people immigrate to new places?" We will work on the skills of predicting, determining theme, choosing precise nouns, and some different figurative language skills (similes, alliterations, and onomatopoeia). Our spelling this week will focus on words with long e sounds.
In math this week, we will continue on with Chapter 4. So far, we have worked on mastering multiplies of 0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 3, and 6. This week will get a little trickier, as we will work on multiplying with 7, 8, and 9. We have been making flashcards in class, so feel free to "quiz" your child at home. Our goal is to be able to recall facts quickly and fluently by the end of the year! As always, thank you for all your support at home!
In Social Studies, we will be learning about why and how immigrants came to America, which will go along nicely with our Wonders readings! Also, we will continue to discuss and learn about the election process in the United States.
In science we will do a couple of fun, engaging STEM activities related to Halloween.
Remember that report cards will come home on Tuesday. The first quarter, you will not see a lot of G's or 3's, because we are still fresh into the year and still have a lot of growth to make (behaviorally and academically). I truly look forward to meeting with each of you at conferences and discussing your child's third grade year. These 27 people are so dear to me and each have such strengths that they add to our classroom. Thank you for raising such wonderful human beings and sharing them with me each and every day.
Upcoming Events:
November 1st: Report Cards sent home
November 2, 3, and 4: Noon Dismissal (parent-teacher conferences)
November 8th: Spirit Day (Wear red, white, and blue; bring $1 donations to the Quiet Waters program in Bozeman)
November 10th - Veteran's Day Program
November 10th - Tech Night for Parents - 6:30-7:30
Have a lovely weekend!
