This week in math we will be working on subtraction. We will start with subtracting numbers in the hundreds and then work our way up to the thousands. On Wednesday we will be subtracting numbers with 0s. This can be difficult for kids, so please help them if they get stumped. We will take our chapter test on Friday.
In reading we will be starting our story The Waterfall. It's a great story about a family's backpacking adventure in the mountains leads to the discovery of an amazing waterfall, and then an exhilarating climb to the top of it. This week we will be focusing on the vocabulary for the story. We will also be making predictions about what will happen and questions about what is happening in the pictures.
In writing we will be adding more detail to our paragraphs about our bedrooms. We can't wait for you to read it! Hopefully a few children will be able to share their stories with you on Classroom 21!
In grammar we will be working on proper nouns. Proper nouns are special nouns. They are names of people, places and things. On Monday and Wednesday we will be doing fun lessons with proper nouns so be sure to ask your child about them.
In social studies we are continuing with American History. On Thursday the students will be classifying different pictures of historical people, landmarks and documents. Then the students will be divided into groups to research a specific person, landmark or document of their choice. After that we will use our new information to create a book titled Famous America.
Tuesday night is Back to School Night!!! I look forward to seeing you all there. This is your chance to see what your child will be working on all year long. Our time to start is 6:45.
One more thing: on Wednesday our class will have a substitute. I will be on campus, but I will be fluency testing and having test chats with the children in another room. Throughout the district, all third grade teachers receive ten release days and this will be my first one. I will also be gone next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at a conference in LA.
