What is happening in RM 16?
Weeks of November 19th and 26th
Writing: We have dug deep into persuasive writing-looking into examples from other third graders, learning how to write a good hook, and providing examples for our reasons. We will be practicing our persuasive abilities in some letters to Dr. Dickens. :)
Math: We are wrapping up multiplication and division with some words problems to apply what we've learned. Our latest Seesaw was a way for me to see whether or not they have a good grasp of word problems and can extend that thinking into a word problem of their own. We will be moving on to 2-D shapes and their attributes the week after Thanksgiving Break.
Multiplication will be applied throughout the year and coming years, just like addition and subtraction. Please continue review basic facts at home to help with the fluency of facts 0-12.
Websites for practice:
2 digit x 1 digit with regrouping
Game for fact practice:
Multiplication squares in their binder
Social Studies: Social Studies will continue through the 30th. They will be working on the eight states bordering Missouri. A puzzle came home Friday to help your child practice these. There will be a study guide coming home soon to prepare for a future quiz. They will also be learning about Landforms.
