Homework:

  • Beginning NEXT week 3rd graders are expected to read 100 minutes EACH week. Each Monday a reading log will come home for your child to keep track of their minutes read at home. They have the option of reading 20 for five days or reading for longer for fewer days. READING MORE is always encouraged, but not required. 🙂

Word Study: We are establishing routines for grammar & spelling. This week we are working with the long “a” sound.

Writing: We have begun writing small moment stories

Reading: We launched our first reading unit: Building a Reading Life

Math: Unit #1- Multiplication & Division with 0-5, 9 & 10. (make sure your kids are practicing their flashcards as we introduce each fact. ONLY add a new fact for memorization AFTER they have mastered the previous. They should have the flashcards for 5’s in their Take Home folders. Please make sure these come back to school each day.)

Growth Mindset: We have learned about Growth Mindsets & Fixed Mindsets. With this, we learned that EVERYONE can learn and to do so we need to have a GROWTH mindset. We are also learning about our BRAIN and how each part of our brain has a special function.
