Hello, everyone! Every Monday, you will receive a message from Ms. Mitchell and myself regarding the assignments and important information for the week. Ms. Mitchell's information can be found by visiting her link: http://mjmitche.weebly.com/blog (You can also find a permanent link to this site on the right side of my blog page). Below, you fill find a downloadable copy of our 3rd grade newsletter. (Simply click on the photo to open the printable PDF version.) A paper copy of this is in your child's mail folder attached to their Dojo report. (A sample dojo report is pictured beside the newsletter.) In future weeks, graded test papers will also be attached to this set of papers. Please be sure that you sign the Dojo report and return it to school tomorrow. This morning, we spent time copying down homework assignments in our agenda. We will do this each Monday for the entire week. I have included a picture below of what your child's agenda should look like (with my assignments...they may have added more with Ms. Mitchell). During the first nine weeks, I try to go around and check that everyone has their homework copied correctly, however, after first nine weeks, I try to hold them accountable and make it their responsibility. As you can see from the agenda, we do have math homework this week! This homework can be found in their EveryDay Math Journal. (pictured below) They should complete journal pg. 10 by Friday. We will check this together in class Friday morning. You can click on the journal page below to download a printable copy of this paper in the event your child cannot locate their math journal.
This week in Science, we will begin on our first chapter on Matter. I will send home a parent note tomorrow about the chapter. The chapter is fairly lengthy, so we will do several graded classwork activities along the way, but I will notify you before we are scheduled for our first assessment. I am estimating in about 3 weeks.
In math, we are focusing on rounding this week. Students have several pages in their binder with notes and practice questions. Once we have completed our lessons and classwork, I will give them a "checkup" to assess their mastery of the skill. Students will be able to use their binder notes to assist them with this checkup. Students may review rounding by watching the Brain Pop, Jr. video at the following link: https://jr.brainpop.com/math/numbersense/rounding/ South Carolina students are provided with a free subscription through our SC Discus virtual state library. If you are interested in your child accessing these videos with this subscription, please contact me for login information, as I am not allowed to publish it online. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the information provided, please do not hesitate to contact me! I know this is a great deal of information to process, but I am hopeful that with the information provided, you will be able to better assist your child at home. My goal is that we are able to work together as a team to ensure a successful 3rd grade year for your child! Thank you so much for sharing your children with me -- they are a blessing! Have a great day!
