Ms. Zurales' 3rd Grade News

October 5, 2018

ELA In writer's work shop we will begin the argumentative writing unit. Our activities will focus on descriptive writing. 

Don't forget to read for 20 days (20 min each day) and record it in the October Reading Log.

SPELLING A new sort will go home Tuesday. 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 will begin studying the history of Downers Grove.

MATH We began the unit on Multi-digit Addition and Subtraction. Students will be introduced to the concepts of rounding 2 and 3 digit numbers to nearest ten and the nearest hundred. They will develop new strategies and adjust some of the strategies they learned to solve 3 digit story problems.

Today I assigned students a pin so they can practice their facts on their chromebook through the app:  xtra math.  The pin was written in their assignment notebook. If they did not save the login info, they may need it. The teacher email is szurales@ccsd66.org.

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.
