Math:
We are continuing Unit 3 this week with Lessons 15 & 16 , which is finding the area of shapes. We are taking our multiplication skills and putting them to the test.
Reading:
In Unit 3 Week 3, we will be talking about what we know about our Earth and our neighbors. Our comprehension skill for the week is main idea and key details and our strategy is summarizing. We will be reading two expository texts, “Earth and Its Neighbors” and “Earth”.
Phonics:
r-controlled vowels and suffixes
Vocabulary:
-surface -amount -astronomy -globe -solar system -support -temperature -warmth
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!
DECEMBER 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 Ms. Beckstead – 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.
It’s time for another one of our 3rd grade traditions!
Each year we hold the Grinch Party to help our students focus on RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY & KINDNESS.
To show our appreciation for the amazing people they are, we all gather together to watch How The Grinch Stole Christmas, enjoy a tasty popcorn buffet and sip delicious hot cocoa. We even have a new Grinch prop to use for a fun photo station! This party will be held on Friday, December 20th, from 8:30 – 10:30.
For this to be possible, we will need parent help! We will need volunteers as well as donations so, if you are able to help in any way, please fill out the google form by clicking on the link below.
