Mrs. Shakarchi's 3rd Grade Classroom

I hope you had a wonderful spring break.  I am looking forward to seeing all the students tomorrow!
We have Brainstormers assembly tomorrow! How exciting!

Dear Families,

I wanted to wish you a healthy and safe Spring Break!

I am sending math and reading M-Step Sample Items with students to have them practice with you! Please have them return it to class on 4/4.

I encourage students to visit these websites for math and reading practice:

• Frontrow        class code: dtqcwt
• khanacademy
• Razkids
• Myon for a class assigned project
• Mobymax
• NWEA practice and M-Step practice (use the Dearborn Public Schools Website)
• xtramath

Importantly, have them read and log their minutes since we will have the final count after the break.  Students who read the most number of minutes will have a reward.  Also, the class that reads the most minutes will win a pizza party.

Thank you again and have a wonderful break.

Math: Next week will be all about Geometry. We will focus more on Lines, Angles,  Quadrilaterals,  Polygons,  and 3-D shapes.
Please feel free to visit NWEA geometry section for extra practice. We will have a quiz Friday.
Here are some anchor charts for extra support.

Please take few minutes out of your busy schedule to go over these concepts. Your support is needed to enforce the geometry concepts.
