Weekly Updates 11/17-11/21

News/Events

  • It was so lovely to see you during parent teacher conferences last week! Once you are done reviewing portfolios please return them, preferably by this upcoming Friday. Thank you.
  • This Friday is Family Friday! Our focus is going to be on writing, and all of the hard work our students have put into their informational books. 
  • Next Monday (11/24) our class is walking to the Hudson Guild to perform some of the third grade play songs to our local senior citizens. Keep your eyes out for a permission slip!
  • We are visiting Circle in the Square on December 1st, the Monday after Thanksgiving. Keep an eye out for this trip slip as well.
  • The third grade Thanksgiving play is finally upon us! Performances will take place at 10:30 and 1:30 the Wednesday before Thanksgiving break.
Curriculum

  • Reading: This week we are launching our next reading unit- Nonfiction Reading! This week we will take a look at our own nonfiction reading identities, and the different types of nonfiction texts we are drawn to.

  • Writing: This week we are publishing our Information Books! Students have been working hard to edit and revise their pieces, and will select the necessary tools to create a clear book layout. We will focus on final touches such as adding illustrations and diagrams to lift the level of their descriptions.

  • Math: This week during math groups are starting to examine the relationship between multiplication and division, as well as important division vocabulary.

  • Social Studies: Students will learn how to rotate through different centers during the Social Studies period, and will continue to take notes about information learned.
Have a great week, and see you Friday!
Ms. Bouchard
