Math: This week we will be learning about the measurement capacity. Students may want to bring in examples of liters, cups, pints, quarts, or gallons of empty containers.
Memorizing math facts is very important in 3rd grade. REFLEX has begun. User name is kfedders and then students will need their birth date month/date. Also, Dreambox can be completed at home any day of the week and allows your child to work at his/her level.
Social Studies: We will begin the soil unit. Notes will be in the science notebook and students will have study cards for their binder to review nightly.
Reading: This week’s focus is using context clues to figure out the meaning of unknown words and using guide words in the dictionary.
A 4th quarter reading log will be in the binder too.
Your child should have the Reading Log and Raz Kids log in the homework binder for easy access so you can monitor progression.Some students have already completed the reading log!
