A Look At Next Week

MAP Reading

MAP Reading went well yesterday. MAP Math will be on Tuesday morning. 

Parent Teacher Conferences

I sent out an email with a link to sign up for a conference on Wednesday. Please sign up when you have a minute to look at your schedule. 

Friday Folders

There are a lot of papers in your child's folder. I put all the papers from the office in one side and the graded papers on the other. Please sign and return the graded papers and look through all the other ones. There is a reading log in there for a USC Clemson Reading Contest. This log is due by October 28th.

Math- We continue working with Division and Multiplication. They will have a quiz on Thursday. I will be starting "Fast Facts" soon. Fast Facts are basically timed multiplication "tests". They will not be graded. The students will start with their 0-2's and as they pass will move on to the next number. If you have flash cards at home now would be a great time to work with your child on practicing their facts. They only have to know 0-10's fluently in third grade, but I will be testing them through the 12's. 

Language Arts- We will continue working on Main Idea next week.  We did not get to our new mentor sentence this week from Stand Tall, Molly Lou Melon so we will do that next week. The focus is on nouns, irregular nouns and plural nouns. The students will also pick a topic from their writing notebook to write about and elaborate on. 

Science- We will wrap your our discussion on Grasslands with a test on Friday. Your child will have a Study Buddy come home next week with topics they need to know for the test. They can use their book, notes in their binder and science composition notebook to help them study. 

Social Studies- We will focus on the six regions in South Carolina. We have a trick to remember them in order from the Northwest part of our state to the Southeast...make sure you ask your child about the trick. :)

Have a FANTASTIC weekend! Hope you football teams wins!
