Scholastic book order forms are sent out each month. If you wish to purchase books for your students please either send the order form to school with your student or order online. Our class code is P7R7M. Every purchase through scholastic earns our classroom free books. This year we have earned 46 books! Wahoo!
Third grade will be taking a field trip to Hoover on 4/19. Permission slips and information will be going home soon.
Math:
We are currently working on area and perimeter! The students learned parts of this unit last year, so they are really excited. This unit will be using a lot of addition and multiplication facts, which will be great review for PARCC tests.
Please continue to practice math facts with your student! They are extremely beneficial and will only help them for their future math classes.
Our next math unit will be focusing on measuring volume, mass and length! Our final unit focuses on interpreting data.
Reading/Writing:
Please continue to have your student read and fill out their reading logs weekly. If you happen to lose their reading log there is a link under the ELA tab for you to print a new one!
Each month the students set a goal of how many books they will read and pass in their level. Please ask your student what their goal is this month and how close they are to beating it.
For our last final writing assessment we will be writing personal narratives.
Please continue to work with your student on their spelling words.
Social Studies:
This unit will focus on Native American tribes in Illinois, settlers who established communities in Illinois and values of the settlers.
Science:
This unit will focus on forces and interactions. We will be doing many experiments that they will love!!
As always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
