So far so good in third grade! :) The students are working hard at learning the rules and routines of our classroom and school. We are still needing some reminders to work quietly, walk in the hallways quietly, and to finish work before choosing a fun choice. However, they have really been working hard at being friends with everyone, and making everyone feel included! I am very proud of them for this!
We started Ch. 1 in Math. We are learning about the properties of addition (commutative, associative, and identity properties), reviewing fact families, and working with missing addends. Third Grade Math has TONS of new vocabulary words, and we learn a new skill daily. I will be challenging students and reteaching students as needed as we move through the chapters! Please make sure you check the math section of their expanding files for papers completed for each chapter. PLEASE keep the papers (all papers except Please Remove actually) in the expanding file, and we will empty them at school together. These papers can be used to review for upcoming tests!
Our first DLR (Daily Language Review) test will be on Friday. Mondays and Tuesdays DLR is in the expanding file to look at and review. We work on these daily pages together, and the test is completed independently.
We also began Social Studies Chapter 1 - Communities. Our test will be next week. A study guide will be coming home soon.
In writing we are working on one of the Six Traits of Writing, Gathering Ideas! We will listen to some different fiction stories, and add some ideas to our Writer's Notebooks daily! Speaking of Writer's Notebooks, they look awesome! Thanks for helping to decorate them!
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please let me know!
