Mrs. Greene's 3rd Grade
February 3, 2017
Good Bye, January!
We enjoyed popcorn that our wonderful PTO prepared for us today. Once each quarter we celebrate your child's hard work with popcorn.
Don't forget that if your child has misplaced his/her spelling list for the week, you can access it on my website or click on this link...
We had indoor recess for the last two days due to the temperature. CCS policy is that no classes go outside if the temperature is below 20 degrees.
We have a busy three weeks ahead of us as we starting thinking about ISTEP. The first day of that test is February 27. If you can avoid making appointments for your child in the morning the week of February 27- March 3, that would be extremely helpful.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Mrs. Greene
Here is What is Planned for Next Week: February 6-10
- Figurative Language
- Reading a biography
Writing: Persuasive Writing - Prompt Writing
Next week we will begin learning how to respond to a writing prompt. We are actively writing and typing our Persuasive Writing pieces, and will present them in the form of a speech as the end of the nine weeks draws near.
Social Studies: Immigration
Our focus in this unit is how people became part of our country many years ago. We have several families in this class that have immigrated within the last few years to the United States. It has been fun allowing the students to share their experiences.
Math: Unit 7 Fractions
- Fractions on a number line
- Fractions of a set
- Equivalent fractions
It is such a joy for me to see the WONDERFUL problem solvers your children are becoming. We have focused on the many strategies to help solve challenging word/story problems. Be sure to ask your child about the acronym CUBES (C-circle numbers, U-underline the question, B-box important words, E-evaluate what strategy to use, S-solve and check.
