MRS. GRABER'S THIRD GRADE CLASS Math: This week we will be finishing Topic 4 on subtraction strategies. We will also be starting Topic 14 which focuses on Customary Measurement. Each night your child should have a practice page that goes with the lesson we did at school that day. Please make sure they complete the page each night.
Science: In Science, we are beginning a unit on ecosystems. We are learning about forest, desert, and water ecosystems. Also each week we are practicing the Reading or Math UNRAAVEL using the lesson in the science book.
Writing: In writing we have continued to learn new cursive letters and practice writing words. We also have begun Writer's Workshop. We are focusing on writing small moment stories.
12 Powerful Words Trace Analyze Infer Evaluate Formulate Describe Support Explain Summarize Compare Contrast Predict
Reading UNRAAVEL Underline title Now predict the passage Run through and number paragraphs Are you reading the questions? Are the important words circled? Venture (read) through the passage Eliminate the obviously wrong answers Let the question be answered and write the paragraph # where you found the answers next to the question.
Math UNRAAVEL Underline the question Now predict what you think you need to do to solve the problem Read the word problem Are the important words circled? (Especially the clue words?) Apply the steps you chose to solve the proble, Verify your answer (Is is reasonable? Does it make sense?) Eliminate wrong answers Let the answer stay or rework the problem
Please make sure your child has completed all homework assignments each night. Also be sure to sign your child's agenda each night and check for any notes in the agenda.
Please review the 12 Powerful Words and the Math and Reading UNRAAVELs with your child. These words and strategies are very important and your child will see and use them on the EOG. It is important that they can read and understand each word.
Important Dates: November 11 - Veteran's Day - No School November 24 - Early Release Day Dismissal at 11:45am November 25-27 - No School
Please make sure you have scheduled a report card conference for the first quarter. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to talk about your child's progress. I look forward to having a great year! Thank you for all you do!
