We are finally settled into our routines and the students are understanding the expectations of being a third grader. Just a reminder that school starts at 7:45am. If they are not in school by this time they will be marked tardy.
Thank you for remembering to sign their student planners. This class is really good at making sure they are signed. We will be sending home a folder each week that has all of the students corrected work from the week. We try to send this home on Friday, but sometimes we don't have enough to put in them and we wait until Monday. Please remove the papers from the folder and sign the front.
This week the spelling test will be on Monday. The new list will be coming home Monday night. Students should practice their words every night.
We started guided reading groups last week. Students now know the level at which they should be checking out books from the school and classroom library.
In English they have been working on sentences and fragments. We have been stressing the importance of using capital letters in the appropriate places and using ending punctuation.
In math we have learned to multiply and divide by 2's, 5's, and 10's. This week we will learn 9's, 3's, and 4's. We use these facts in story problems and the students have to decide whether to multiply or divide.
The newspapers came for Social Studies and we began reading them last week. We talked about how Wisconsin has never had dinosaur bones found in it. This week we will talk about how the glaciers moved through parts of Wisconsin.
