A Look Ahead

Friday Folders
Your child is coming home with their green Friday Folder today. This folder will come home each Friday. It may include flyers from the office, important information and assessments. Please look through the folder each weekend and send it back to school with your child. 

Parent Letters 

I've enjoyed reading the letters I have received about the students in my class. I have already noticed some of the things you have said are your child's strengths and weaknesses. Thank you so much for sharing! I look forward to reading more.

3rd Grade Parent Orientation

Orientation for parents is on Thursday, September 5th from 5:30-6:15 or 6:30-7:15. Hope you are able to attend. If you are not able to come, please let me know and I will make sure I provide you with the information you missed. 

We have Chromebooks!
The students set up their Chromebooks in computer lab on today. We will start using them in class soon. The students are aware of the Acceptable Use Policy and I know they will be great leaders and adhere to it so they can use their Chroembooks in class. 


Saving Sam
Students worked together to try and "Save Sam". Ask your child about "Saving Sam" for more information. 



Curriculum 


Math- We started with Module 1 in Eureka Math. Module 1 covers Properties of Multiplication and Division.  We will have a quiz over lessons 1-3 on Friday. I will email out a Math Tip Sheet that you can look at to see what we will be covering in this module. 

Language Arts- We will be focusing on how to find "just right" books. We will have media center orientation on Monday and students will begin checking out books. We will focus on questioning before, during and after reading stories. We will do fingerprint poetry and some other creative writing pieces to get to know each other as writers. I will also be conducting reading conferences with each student to get to know them better as a reader. 

Social Studies- We will be discussing Geography. (compass rose, continents, oceans, what borders South Carolina, our country etc.) 

Science- We will discuss adaptations that plants and animals have in the Grasslands and look at food chains as well.
