Ms. Beckstead's 3rd Grade Class

Important Dates:

• Monday 25th @ 2:00 – Dressing our Apple Witches – Please let me know if you can help us out.
• Friday 29th – Halloween Parade and Party – See below for details
• Nov. 3rd-4th – Parent Teacher Conferences – See below for details
• Nov. 5th – No School

HALLOWEEN PARTY – We will be having our Halloween Party on October 29th from 9:30ish to 11:20 (after the Halloween Parade). Third Grade is doing their party a little differently this year. Each class will be in charge of a game, craft, or art project. Our class was assigned an art project. I am looking for 4 helpers to come and teach this art project to all of the 3rd grade classes. You would be rotating to each 3rd grade class over the course of the morning. This means that you would not be with our class the whole time. I have the art project and all of the materials that you would need, so all you need to do is teach the students how to do it (it’s super easy and very cute). Please send me an email or Bloomz message if you can help us out that day.

PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES – Parent Teacher Conferences will be held on Wednesday, November 3 and Thursday, November 4.  Please note: These will be early out days (1:00pm) and there will be no school on Friday (November 5). I look forward to meeting with you and your child to discuss their progress and goals. We will be meeting in-person in our classroom. If you prefer to hold your conference virtually, please type “Zoom” in the same slot after you add your child’s name. Please sign up by clicking the following link: Conference Sign-up Form

Math: Please remember to continue practicing multiplication facts with your third grader at home. 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 9 this week. Below is the family letter from our math work book. On the second page of the letter, there is an activity to help students use place value to multiply. You are not required to do the activity, it’s just a suggestion if you’d like your child to practice at home.

ELA: This week we’re working on Unit 2 Week 2 in our Wonders book. Below is an outline of what we will be learning.

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.

Hello Grown-Ups!
Students who have completed all work for the week may bring a small item from home to play with during free time. Many students asked about bringing electronics from home. I am fine with that but please know that myself or the school are not responsible for broken/lost devices. Also students will not have access to the internet. They are welcome to use our classroom computers to use during free time if they wish. Students who have not completed their work will use this time to get caught up. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
Thanks!!
