3A: A Week at a Glance
week ending November 20, 2015
A Note from Mrs. Adams
Typing Agent homework will begin the week after Thanksgiving. Log on info is taped inside agendas and is also found on my eboard, along with the direct link to access the site. Please let me know if your child experiences any difficulty logging on. We are asking third graders to practice 20-30 minutes per week at home.
Math facts will continue to be important as we move into using multiplication and division strategies. Drawing arrays is a great strategy as we first learn concepts, but soon the memorization of math facts will help students complete problems efficiently and accurately. Please begin practicing the multiplication facts for 5 minutes a night!
Conferences: This year, students will be running the conferences at their first "Student-Led Conference". This is done district wide for 3rd through 5th grade. We will spend the first 15 minutes as a student-led conference, where they share their areas of strength and areas to continue working on. The last five minutes are reserved for you and I to speak, with your child out of the room. More information to come, but these have always been informative for the parents and exciting for the child to have a chance to "show off". If you haven't signed up for a conference time, please do so using this link. http://www.jooners.com/guest?l=b5123255-ecca-4d13-8f13-d7e20ed2e9df
