| Hello third grade families!
Third grade is off and running! Students are being pulled daily into small groups working on their academic goals. We will be finishing up multiplication and division Module 1 and going into addition and subtraction in Module 2. In ELA we are focusing on sequence, main idea and details, and author’s purpose. We continue to work on writing complete sentences where we are restating the question then giving our answer. In science we have been learning about life cycles of living things. In social studies we are learning about geography and reading different types of maps. Happy October! | Hello Fourth grades families! Our first quarter has flown by! We have been spending lots of time reviewing expectations and what Mesa PRIDE looks like in and outside the classroom. Students are working hard and persevering through challenging tasks and moments. As we enter our second quarter of the school year, we will be beginning module two of Eureka math that includes composing and decomposing units of ten, multiplying and dividing tens and ones by one-digit numbers using area models and distributive property and solving word problems. We have also begun unit 2 of Wonders for ELA while discussing essential questions throughout each week. As we wrap up our first quarter and prepare for parent-teacher conferences, please be on the lookout for a sign-up sheet to schedule your conference with your student's teacher. We look forward to seeing and chatting with everyone! -Mrs. Andrews, Ms. Horn, Mrs. Licata, and Ms. Vargas | We are getting ready to wrap up the first quarter of fifth grade. We are all so impressed with how much work all your students have shown throughout these last nine weeks. They have tackled Module 1 of Eureka, which included place value understanding, multiplication of whole numbers, division of whole numbers, and multi-step problems with whole numbers. Please continue to work with your student on their multiplication facts. This will be helpful as we continue throughout the school year. We are now diving into Module 2, where we will look at the addition and subtraction of fractions. In reading, we just wrapped up Unit 1, where we discussed things like the author's point of view, vocabulary terms, context clues, story plot, problem and solution, and much more. Please continue to support your student’s reading by having them read for 20 minutes a night. This will help them as we continue our reading in Unit 2 of our Wonders curriculum. We look forward to seeing all parents in our parent-teacher conferences coming up. Thank you all again for your continued support for this first quarter of the school year. We look forward to beginning quarter 2. |
