Think Tank in Third
Weekly Update- October 7, 2016
Week at a Glance
Math- We continued working on addition and subtraction with regrouping as well as rounding to the nearest 10 and 100. We will have a test on Tuesday, Oct. 11th. A study guide will go home today for students to prepare.
Writing- We continued working on our Personal Narratives. Students focused on brainstorming this week, and we are currently working on writing a "bold beginning" that will catch our reader's attention.
Social Studies- We got our letters written for our Flat Stanley project and mailed them. It took some time to address our envelopes, but our Flat Stanleys are ready to go!
No homework menu this week, as we want students to focus on studying for our math test on Tuesday. A completed study guide will come home today. Click here to view that (it will be uploaded this evening).
ALEKS- Important math information
- Please do not help your child with these lessons. If your child doesn't understand a question they can click "explanation" and you could help them read through this explanation, but other than that, this is an independent program.
- Do not allow students to use a calculator unless the ALEKS program gives them the calculator option on the question.
- Make sure your child has paper & pencil available to workout the problems. This is very important.
