September 30 - October 4 Weekly Update

Dear Parents and Guardians,

The students presented their assignments for Habit 3: Put first things first. Our students shared that though it was challenging for them, it felt really good after they cleaned and organize a personal space at their homes. Ms. Knox, our guidance counselor will be meeting with our class twice a month to help us become more mindful of our surroundings. This week, we talked about what inclusiveness means and what it looks like at the playground, in the classroom, and lunchroom. 

In Math, we learned different ways of using our place value chart to find number patterns, add, and subtract multi-digit numbers. On Tuesday, October 8th we will have our first chapter unit test. I asked the students to take home their math textbooks to help them prepare for our test. 

In reading, we started reading the second quadrant of the book, Shiloh. For the next following days, we will increase our speed a little bit and reread less. We will become more involved in the story. We will identify central ideas and themes in the story.

In Writing, we are continually learning how to be good digital citizens. This week, our class discussed how other online users might perceive us based on what we post online. Next week, our class will create and pledge to adhere to shared norms for being in an online community.

In social studies, we are learning different map skills. This week we studied the different parts of a map. With our third grade schoolmates, we created a map of our school community. 

REMINDER/S:
  • Fall Festival will be on Saturday, October 5th, 6-9 PM
  • Free Dress On October 7th and is our Language MAP testing. Please help your child be prepared by being well-rested and having a healthy breakfast.
