EARLY RELEASE ON FRIDAY 1:15
Daily
5 Literacy/Writing: We will continue to
work with questions. We will learn about the different types of questions we
can ask—Right there in the book questions or think and search questions. We
will also work on using our nonfiction text features-- photograph, caption,
heading, subheading, sidebar, map, graph, bold face words, etc.
We are going to be finishing
our first writing piece (personal narrative) this week. Some students are
having a difficult time with using capital letters and punctuation correctly! I
think we just forgot over the summer J I know you only have
reading and math homework each night as of right now, but please have your
student practice writing too. They can write you a few sentences about their
day, favorite book, favorite movie, or anything at all. Also when they have a
written assignment to go along with their reading in the near future, please be
sure they are using complete sentences.
Math: We worked last week and part of this week on rounding to
the nearest ten or the nearest hundred. This is a very abstract and difficult
concept for our third graders, so any extra practice at home would be great. We
even spent 3 extra days on this and we will be having an assessment on it
tomorrow. We will be starting our next unit on Wednesday. This unit is focus on
Geometry- quadrilaterals, parallel lines, perpendicular lines, line segments, parallelograms,
rectangles, squares, and rhombuses.
