We’ve had a magnificent Monday in room 204! This morning we began our theme Journeys in language arts! We had a great discussion about how a journey can fill your life with new experiences. In the afternoon we finished our amazing Water Cycle drawings and learned about the effects of earthquakes and volcanoes on land. We will be sharing with you tonight the Time for Kids magazine that we read in class today. It has some great tips on going green to help save our environment. Get ready for a terrific Tuesday!
*Please encourage your child to bring a water bottle to class so he/she does not have to leave class when thirsty!
IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOUR CHILD TO BRING SHARPENED PENCILS TO SCHOOL EACH DAY!
PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR CHILD WITH A PERSONAL PENCIL SHARPENER TO KEEP IN HIS/HER BINDER!!!
Here’s what we have for you tonight:
3rd Grade Reading: 20 minutes
4th Grade Reading: 30 minutes
Language arts:
Memoirs are due Thursday, October 1st! Ask your child if he/she finished in class! If he/she did not, please help your child edit the rough draft and finish the final copy. In the final copy packet, there should be a paragraph on each page and a picture on each page. They can also decorate the covers. Right now we are just working on complete sentences, capital letters in all the right places, and neatness! If your child needs “final copy paper,” please have him/her ask me!
Math:
3rd Grade Study multiplication facts for 10 minutes
Students will keep their homelink and math journals in their binders. These will travel to and from school each day in the binder. Please help your child find a great permanent location for each of these in the binder if he/she did not in class today. We will use each of these in class everyday!
3rd Grade Mental recall goals (for exiting 3rd grade):
30 addition and 30 subtraction in 2 mins, 50 multiplication and 50 division 3 mins. Check out the math website at the top of our Blog. It is great for practicing all facts!
