Apple Witches !
What a great success! The kids had a wonderful time and were so excited to see the end product. Thank you to everyone who came to help with the dressing, and thank you to everyone for helping us prepare by making the dresses/robes, hats and hands. I hope you enjoy these witches as reminders of 3rd grade for many years to come!

Math:
We will continue lesson 8 where we are learning order and grouping to multiply numbers. We will still be working on our multiplication facts 0 -12.
Reading:
Unit 2 Week 2 is continued. Our comprehension strategy is rereading to help us understand a text better. The expository texts we are reading this week are “Every Vote Counts,” and “VOTE”. While reading, we are going to be using details in the text to determine the author’s point of view.
Phonics:
Silent Letters: -gn, -kn, -wr, -mb, -rh, -bt, -mn, -lf, -gh, -lk, -sc, -st
Vocabulary:
announced – candidates – convince – decisions – elect – estimate – government – independent
In class, we learn about these vocabulary words in connection to ourselves. If you notice your child using any of these words in context, this would be a great opportunity to celebrate their efforts!
OCTOBER POEMS
Each month students are required to memorize at least one poem. Below are the month’s poems. We only read through these in class once, so they need to be practiced at home. Students can pass off poems on Fridays whenever they are ready to recite them.
OPTIONAL – yet HIGHLY encouraged by Mrs. Alexander – REVIEW
- Read at least 20 minutes per day. Making sure that your child does his/her reading daily is the single most helpful thing you can do to support educational success.
- REFLEX- at least 3 green lights per week!
- There is a link to Reflex on the right hand side of the blog. The username is: alexander3 and students will use their own network password to log in
