Happy Monday, everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Dojo reports and graded test papers are being sent home today with the 3rd Grade Newsletter. Please be sure to sign your child's Dojo report and return it to school tomorrow. A digital copy of the Newsletter can be found below.
Math / Science homework for the week is as follows:
This week in Math we are working on place value and the properties of addition. We will use the following resources in class...please feel free to allow your student to review them again from home: https://jr.brainpop.com/math/numbersense/placevalue/? http://studyjams.scholastic.com/studyjams/jams/math/addition-subtraction/prop-of-addition.htm In Science, we are continuing with out study of the properties of matter. This week, we will move along to the measurable properties of matter: volume, mass, and density. As mentioned before, we will only do classwork grades until we complete the entire chapter on matter. I will notify you when we are ready for our assessment. Scholastic Study Jams has a fabulous video that goes along with this lesson: http://studyjams.scholastic.com/studyjams/jams/science/matter/properties-of-matter.htm The first tool is Power School. By downloading the app, you have access to your child’s gradebook, attendance record, and also lunch account balance.
For droid users, you can access the app in the Google play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.powerschool.portal For apple users, you can access the app from iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id973741088 I will post grades as I check their papers and you will have access to their scores immediately. Please remember that the actual graded paper will be sent home each Monday with the Dojo report and newsletter. The second tool is Class Dojo. Aside from using this as our behavior management, we also use it to track homework. When we check their homework on Friday, we will select “Turned in HW” or “No HW” for each student. If you have signed up for a parent account, you will be able to see this in their notifications. This will also show on the paper Dojo report we send home each Monday. The link to sign up for a parent account is: https://home.classdojo.com/#!/login Each child received a paper with their code for creating an account. If you wish to create an account, but do not have the code, please let us know and we can send it to you again. I hope that you will find these two tools very helpful in keeping track of your student’s progress. Although Ms. Mitchell and I do communicate this information on a regular basis, we understand that it can be helpful to have access to it at your fingertips! Please let us know if you have any questions or have trouble getting these set up. We’ve had a wonderful first two weeks and are looking forward to working with you and your children for the weeks to come!
