Third Grades A Hoot!

Whats Happening In Our Class?


Hello everyone. I had a
wonderful time speaking
with all of you at conferences. If you have any
more questions or concerns,
please let me know.
In math we are on
Unit 3. Unit 3 will cover
estimating, graphing, adding
and subtracting multi-digit
numbers, communicative
property of multiplication
as well as writing to explain
how answers were solved.
We are continuing to work
on addition /subtraction
facts if needed. Some of
you also took home a multiplication mad minute pack
to get a head start on
learning multiplication
facts. You will see more
info on this after Christmas
break. 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 a 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. Students may bring

the pack back to school for


a coupon when they are
done. 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 synthesizing
and theme. Our next leson
will be on character traits.
We will read Chrysanthemum and Wimberly Worried. We are also exploring
characters through our
read aloud of Charlottes
Web. Perspective is also
being taught with The 5
mile Poem about the Mackinac bridge. As always we
are continuing to use our
caf strategies as we read
to make us better thinkers.
Our next science
unit will be force and motion. Students will discover
how gravity affects objects
as well as friction and
movement.
In social studies we
are finishing up our study
of geography. We will create a topography map of
Michigan and then painted

it. We will have a short


test on this unit after
Thanksgiving. Look for a
review sheet to come home
soon.
Many of you have
donated clorax wipes.
Thank you! With cold and
flu season upon us it is important that we clean our
desks often. If you would
like to donate more wipes I
would appreciate it.
Please dont forget
to have your child dress for
the weather. Its time for
coats, mittens, hats
scarves, and boots. Also
please put your childs name
on their items so that all
the lost mittens will find
their way home!
