Friday Update for 10/23
Hello again,
After another productive and exciting week, here are the updates:
- In English, we started reading By the Great Horn Spoon, a gold rush novel. We are also doing a 'character diary' writing activity to accompany this novel
- In math we have been scaffolding addition and subtraction via word problems and bar modeling
- We have been typing up our science fair projects and learning about habitat competition in science class
- In social studies we are still researching for state-projects and getting more familiar with the Northeast region of the United States
Next week we are looking forward to:
- Picture retakes and FULL DRESS on 10/28
- Science fair experiment results are due on 10/29!
- Wearing costumes on 10/30 and having our first class party!
Miscellaneous:
- With the 1st quarter coming to an end, look out for report cards
- Friday Folders are coming home today with 4/5 items
- In Friday Folders students should be bringing their Behavior Calendars for parents to SIGN over the weekend. Again, please sign under the Yes or No at the end of this week. Several students came to school with unsigned calendars last week so please try to sign those
- Some students have not been doing front row, so when front row is assigned, please try to secure some computer time for the students so they can complete their homework!
- I have modified the homework posting system, so be sure that you are subscribed to the '3rd grade' class so you will receive homework updates. I had them broken into different subjects before and that may have been causing problems with the updates/emails so hopefully this streamlines the homework updating process
Thank you for your help with all of this!
Mr. Dyson
