Ms. Zurales' 3rd Grade News
October 12, 2018
ELA In writer's work shop students will continue the argumentative writing unit. Our activities will continue to focus on descriptive writing. Students are learning the importance of word choice in making an argument more descriptive, powerful, and persuasive to their audience. At the end of the week, students will begin writing an argumentative piece in which they are persuading their audience to buy their haunted house.
Don't forget to read for 20 days (20 min each day) and record it in the October Reading Log.
SPELLING Homework (3 items on the menu, 1 from each column) is due on 10/19, which is also the day of the test.
SOCIAL SCIENCE We are studying the history of Downers Grove. Next week, we will learn about Pierce Downers and the Potowatomi Indians.
MATH We will have a checkpoint quiz on Monday that will focus on rounding to the nearest 10 and 100 and solving multi-digit addition story problems. Please review rounding with your child this weekend. The remainder of the week will focus on three-digit subtraction strategies. A graded work sample will be completed in class on Thursday.
