APPLE WITCHES – A huge thank you for our parents who came and helped the 3rd graders carve their apple witch faces. The students have loved seeing their apples turn brown and start to decay. Thank you! In order to do the rest of this project I am going to need some help from you. We will be dressing our witches later in the month and the witches will need clothing. I will be sending home a letter and a pattern on how to create the dress for your child’s apple witch. This letter will come home this week. I have included picture of a completed apple witch to give you an idea of what the apple witches will look like when finished.
Math: Our 3rd grade class will start working on multiplication and we are so excited. This skill is very important for third graders to master. In order for your child to be successful with memorizing all of their multiplication facts they need to be practicing at home and flash cards are a great way to practice these facts. You can find a cheap set of flash cards at the dollar store, you can print off your own online, or use index cards to create your own. No matter which flash cards you use, it is so important that your child has practice.
We will be starting lesson 7 this week. Below is the family letter from our math work book that explains what we are doing in class on lesson 7. On the second page of the letter, there is an activity to help students with multiplying by 7, 8 and 9. You are not required to do the activity, it is just a suggestion if you would like your child to practice at home.
ELA – We finished up our Unit 1 last week and this week we will be reviewing the reading strategies, skills, and vocabulary words that we have learned.
