Hello Third Grade Families!
As always, we are working hard in the third grade. This Wednesday we have another free dress day. Bring $1 (or more!) if you would like to participate. All will go directly to the Adopt-a-Family Program. Then, on Friday, we will enjoy our second “Intermediate Centers.”
In class this week, we’ll be studying the following:
Math: This week we will continue Unit 3: Linear Measures and Area. We will spend time reviewing basic units of measure both in customary and metric units, as we will also be measuring to the nearest quarter unit. Then, we will learn all about measuring the perimeter of plane figures. As always, feel free to follow along with us at www.everydaymathonline.com. Your child’s username and password can be found in his/her planner.
For IXL math homework, please complete the following Third Grade skills:
Q.4 Which customary unit is appropriate?
Q.10 Which metric unit is appropriate?
R.3 Count and Compare Sides and Angles
Spelling: Click here to download this week’s spelling words and pattern/principle. Our next spelling test will be this Friday.
Vocabulary: We will begin Unit 5. For a list of the words, definitions and additional practice go to the vocabulary workshop site. Instructions, along with a username and password, can be found taped on the inside cover of your child’s planner.
Reading: Library day is Thursday! Please remind your child to bring any books that are checked out so that they may be renewed or check back in.
We are finishing our books from the Miami Jackson series and now tuning in to some Halloween themed chapter books.
