Ms. Zurales' 3rd Grade News

September 28, 2018

ELA We will continue our reading unit, Tales As Old As Time. We will read two stories, Pigsty and Lost and Found. Our focus will be on Theme.

Please remember to keep track of your child’s reading (20 minutes, 20 days) on the September reading log. It is due Monday, October 1. The October reading log went home today.

SPELLING New sorts and a Spelling Menu went home Monday. Students are being asked to choose and complete 3 activities, one from each column, on the Spelling Homework Menu. This will help them master their spelling words. All 3 activities should be stapled to the Spelling Homework Menu and the square initialed by a parent. It should be turned in by Friday, October 5, which is the day of the test.

SOCIAL SCIENCE  Students will present their Continent/Ocean slide shows on Monday. Our next topic is hemispheres. This is a short lesson, therefore there will be quiz at the end of the week. More info will be coming on Monday.

MATH Students will be taking the Unit 1 assessment on Tuesday. A study guide went home yesterday. Please make sure to review this with your child. It is due on Monday. We will skip Unit 2 for now, and move to Unit 3, Multi-digit Addition and Subtraction.

If your child should forget their Student Book or their Home Connections workbook at school, they can go into my google math classroom from a home computer and print the page they will need to complete for homework.

IMPORTANT DATES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

A note from Mrs. Cushing:  Third graders see Mrs. Cushing for PE first thing in the morning.  There is a good chance there will be dew on the grass.  PE is outdoors into October, weather permitting. The students might get their socks/shoes wet.  It is a good idea for the third graders to bring an extra pair of shoes and socks for after PE. A suggestion would be to have your child wear their play shoes to school for PE and then change into another pair after.  Washing and drying them weekly may be of help too!
