    Third Grades A Hoot!

    Whats Happening In Our Class?


    Hello everyone. As
    you know, conferences will
    look a little different this
    year. The district is trying
    a 5 minute open door conference. I look forward to
    meeting with most of you
    and discussing your childs
    progress with you next
    week. We have been working hard in our class on independence and personal
    responsibility. When the
    students come in the room
    in the morning they are
    greeted by me at the door
    and then they are to enter
    the room quietly and look at
    the screen for their morning work. Students are also
    supposed to turn in their
    completed homework.
    While this can be a challenge we are slowly improving as a class. This will help
    your child to be ready for
    4th grade next year.
    In math we are just
    starting Unit 6. This unit
    will cover geometry. Lines,
    rays, and 3D shapes. We
    are also continuing to test
    and practice our multiplication fact families. Every
    student is at their own
    pace, however, if your child
    is stuck on a fact family,

    please help them to study


    at home. In order to be
    secure for this time of the
    year they should be
    through their 8s.. Please
    help them to study their
    facts at home and complete
    their mad minute multiplication sheets nightly. Although only 2 are due per
    week it is helpful to do one
    every night. Some students
    are still having difficulty
    getting 2 turned in per
    week. Please ask your child
    how they are doing on this.
    I have also given everyone
    extra challenge packs to
    work on when they finish
    their journal work. When
    your child turns this in they
    will earn can ear a no homework coupon , no morning
    work or change a seat coupon for them to use whenever they wish! In addition, I have a fourth grade
    math pack that is available
    for parents. This is a take
    home pack to complete at
    home for an extra challenge. However, students
    may bring pages back to
    school if they wish. Many
    of these concepts may be
    new and will not be taught
    during the school day.
    Please let me know if you

    are interested in this.


    In language arts we
    are working on information
    reading and writing. We
    are all experts on a subject
    and students will be teaching me a lot! We will learn
    what makes a good nonfiction article and how to
    write one.
    Our science unit is
    on plants and animals. We
    will be learning what plants
    need to survive and how
    animals adapt to their environment.
    In social studies we
    are finishing up on Michigan
    history and will soon become a state. We will then
    start learning all about
    Michigan government.
    What a government is, why
    we have one, and the 3
    branches. This will help
    prepare us for our Lansing
    trip on March 31st.
    Many of you have
    donated items to our classroom. Thank you! We are
    in need of a few things if
    you are able to help. Clorax
    wipes are a really effective
    way of keeping our desks
    clean of germs. I really appreciate all you do for our
    class!
