Greetings! At the beginning of each week, I will email you with important information regarding the week of learning. All email information is posted on this blog, so that you can reference back to it in the even you delete or misplace the email. You will also notice that there are tabs for parent and student sites that you may also reference as needed. Please remember that we will have 3 sessions of orientation presentations tonight at 4, 4:45, and 5:30. We will explain all of the details in depth to help you better adjust to WES.
Students also received the "Third Grade Tweets" newsletter. An electronic copy can be found below: Students also received their first weekly Dojo Report with their Dojo Dollars attached. The Dojo Report should be signed and returned tomorrow -- students can earn dojo points for returning their signed report on time.
In math, our focus is rounding this week. Our third grade standard states that students should be able to round to the nearest 10 and 100. Students completed our first pre-test today with place-value, rounding, addition, and subtraction. The results of this pre-test will enable me to make appropriate small groups and direct our whole group instruction for these standards. Students will record their pre-test scores in their data folder -- and later at the end of the unit, do the same for their post-test score. so that we can see their growth and progress. Students can review these topics at home by viewing the following Brain Pop, Jr activities (please email me if you need the login and password): Rounding - https://jr.brainpop.com/math/numbersense/rounding/ Addition - jr.brainpop.com/math/additionandsubtraction/basicadding/ jr.brainpop.com/math/additionandsubtraction/addingandsubtractingtens/ jr.brainpop.com/math/additionandsubtraction/addingwithregrouping/ Subtraction - jr.brainpop.com/math/additionandsubtraction/basicsubtraction/ https://jr.brainpop.com/math/additionandsubtraction/subtractingwithregrouping/ https://jr.brainpop.com/math/additionandsubtraction/subtractingwithoutregrouping/ Place Value - jr.brainpop.com/math/numbersense/comparingnumbers/ https://jr.brainpop.com/math/numbersense/placevalue/ In Science, we are introducing STEM and focusing on engineering. We are using the book Rosie Revere, Engineer. Students can view the read-aloud again at home if they wish. We will discuss the meaning of engineer and students will complete a STEM (Science, Technology, Engeinnering, and Mathematics) activity to construct their own loop plane. Students can also review the meaning of engineer by viewing the following videos:

Please feel free to email me or call with any questions or concerns you may have. Thanks so much! -Mrs. Burnette

Yes -- I am sorry. Ms. Mitchell did not pass out the Dojo report to her homeroom...she is going to start that next week. I did not realize that when I had them add it as a homework assignment. Thanks for letting us know and it will not be an issue for the students. Have a great day!
