Third grade families:
Thanks for checking in! I'm enjoying listening to your children read aloud, and I'm very pleased with the good attitudes and manners. I can see, however, that most of us could use some extra practice with basic addition and subtraction fact memory. It would be good if we could get them to quickly say answers instead of having to figure out 8+7, for example. At school, we've been playing "Minute to Win It," and I use the stopwatch on my phone to see how many flashcards they can accurately answer in 60 seconds. Perhaps some extra flashcard practice at home would be helpful.
Coming soon:
Monday's reading homework will be on Pocahontas from the history book. pages 33-35.
There's a language quiz on Tuesday over types of sentences (declarative, interrogative, exclamatory, imperative).
We'll also be learning how to take quizzes in history and science. Our curriculum has practice quizzes and tests that are not meant to be graded, so we will work through them together and they will count as classwork.
Please remember that they have spelling homework on Tuesdays.
Picture day is Friday, September 2!
Thank you for all your support!
