Week of August 28th-30th
Good morning parents,
I hope you all had a great weekend. Last week we began to draft our first personal narratives. Students also set writing goals in areas they wanted to improve on! They continued to show that reading is thinking by asking questions while they read and making connections to other books or their own life.
This week will begin on a Day 6. Our class will have Library on Monday and Friday this week!
The MAP test (Measure of Academic Progress) will be on Tuesday and Thursday morning this week for grade three. Please make sure your child gets a good night's rest and arrives at school on time. We will be starting the test first thing in the morning on those two days.
Reading
Students will begin to set clear reading goals such as the amount of pages read during independent reading time and track their progress towards these goals. Students will also continue to build up their reading stamina , as well as talk about and reflect on what they are reading.
Writing
Students will learn about the importance of writing about small moments and continue to develop a bank of writing ideas of small moments to draw from during this unit. Students will also begin to learn that writers use descriptive details of movement, sounds, actions, etc. to show the story rather than tell it.
Math
Students will continue to practice time to the nearest minute as well as solve elapsed time word problems. One strategy is to use a number line with the start and end time.
Social Studies
Students will learn how to use map keys and the compass rose to interpret and gain information from various maps.
A note from the PE team: Please remember to bring a hat and water bottle on PE days. The new artificial turf field is ready to use and PE classes will be going outside this week. Hats are required when going outside.
thanks,
Tim Pettus
