Happy Monday Everyone!
First of all I just want to say thank you to all of those parents who so graciously volunteered their Friday morning to go with us to the Fire Safety House. The field trip was really informative and the students were able to learn the best way to stay safe if there is a fire. We truly could not do it without all of your help!
Last Friday a note was sent home in regards to the third grade parent meeting. Please make sure that at least one representative from your family is present at this meeting on October 14th. The meeting will start at 2:45 in the Lindbergh Auditorium and go until 3:30. If for some reason there will not be a representative from your family present, please feel free to reach out to me so that we can reschedule.
In addition to the past news, listed below is what we plan on covering this week.
Reading- Discussing how to have an effective book talk with peers, using a KWL to track knowledge within a nonfiction text, making text-to-text connections, and annotating your thinking within a book.
Writing- Discussing how to “Lift a Line” for a reader’s response, persuasive letter writing, and sharing reflective feedback with partners.
Math- Reviewing and administering the mid-module assessment and interpreting the unknown within a multiplication and division problem.

Science- Discussing push and pull within the real world. Learning how push and pull can effect our everyday life as a force. Designing a hopper experiment where we are able to see the push force and the pull force.
Leader in Me- “Transition Person” is a key concept of Habit 1: Be Proactive. A Transition Person replaces reactive, unhealthy, and harmful behaviors with proactive, helpful, and effective behaviors.
