Math: We will complete working on telling time and elapsed time on Monday and Tuesday. Some students are really finding elapsed time challenging. Please help them practice at home. On Wednesday, we will begin working with standard measurement to the nearest inch and ½ inch.

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 economics unit. The first week uses a series of videos to teach the basic vocabulary and we will keep our activities in our notebooks.

Reading: This week’s focus is identifying the elements of a fairy tale. Students will be reading, discussing, and comparing various versions of fairy tales.

Your child should have the Reading Log and Raz Kids log in the homework binder for easy access so you can monitor progression.

Word Study 1stweek of words – choice on Tuesday andThursday. Please check your child’s spelling, have them correct any mistakes, and sign both assignment and planner.

Writer’s Workshop: The big day is almost here! Friday, April 1st is our Third Grade Wax Museum. This week we will practice our speeches. Beginning Wednesday, students will begin giving their speech in the classroom for a grade. Costumes are optional for the classroom speech. I hope all students come back with their speeches memorized since notecards were sent home over break.
