What's going on this week...2/13

Good afternoon families,

Check your email for last week's 3rd Grade newsletter.  If I do not have your email, please email me so I can update my contacts.
Math:
In math this week, we will continue learning strategies for multiplication and division.  Here are some parent letters for each topic.  You will see the corresponding lessons that are in each topic.

Topic B (Lesson 7)
Topic C (Lessons 8 & 9)
Topic D (Lesson 12)

Here are some strategies that you may see your child do...

We have already learned these multiplication facts, but some students may need extra support if these facts aren't automatic.  These strategies may be more useful than counting on fingers.

ELA:
We will continue reading the Green Book.  This week we are on Chapter 5.  If you want your child to read independently at home, they are free to do so but just know we will read this chapter together as a class.

We have been discussing identifying the setting in a story.  We will also learn to identify the plot and how to sequence events in a story.  Practice this at home with your child as they are doing their 30 minutes of reading.

Other Reminders/ Information
Valentine's Day is tomorrow.  We will not have a party, however, your child can bring in items to give others for Valentine's Day at the end of the day.  I have attached a link to the class list (only first names).  Please make sure that if your child is bringing in something, that it is enough for 21 students.  I have sent some cards home for students who want to make their own.  Please remember NO CUPCAKES.  Please keep items small enough to fit into a goodie bag.

I will send a blog tomorrow about our focus in Science and Social Studies.

Please see your child's Family Folder for the SIC Survey.  Please turn these in by Friday.

Friday is a half-day and Interims will come out.  I will update grades before Friday.  If you have any questions, feel free to email me at carjacobs@richland2.org
