Can you believe it is almost May? It seems like we were all anxiously awaiting the first day of 3rd grade. Now, it’s almost done. Here’s what’s ahead…
M-Step Testing will begin on Tuesday, May 8th. Please make sure your child has a good night’s sleep and a healthy breakfast. If your child can bring a pair of earbuds/headphones from home, that will help us make sure every child in the 3rd and 4th grade has something to use for the listening part. They will be returned once testing is finished.
Our room moms are busy planning the birthday bash. The date will be announced. This is the day when we all get to celebrate our birthdays. Although, cupcakes are not needed, treats or treat bags are welcomed. Details will be provided soon.
As far as what we are doing in the classroom…
Daily 5 – Each group continues reading their chapter books while working on specific strategies.
Writer’s Workshop – We will be finishing our last Personal Narrative and turning it in as a Google Doc.
Math – Unit 9 covers multiplication with double digits – using arrays, area, partial-products, lattice and traditional methods.
Science – We have been learning about animal life cycles. Next, we will talk about specific traits passed from parents to offspring.
Social Studies – This unit focuses on Michigan Government.
It is a pleasure to watch children develop so many skills during 3rd grade. They come a long way from the first day of school. You would be amazed how much they have accomplished.
Enjoy the weather! Spend time with each other! Smile!
