Mrs. Greene's 3rd Grade
January 22, 2018
Another Short Week!
We begin the MAP Math test next Friday, January 26, then again on Monday, January 29.
Due to the snow days, I have not submitted the Scholastic Book order. I will do this on Monday, January 22. Feel free to put an order in this weekend if you feel your child could benefit from some new books.
Looking forward to a GREAT week next week!
Enjoy your weekend...

Around Room 9...
Here is What is Planned for Next Week: January 22-26
Reading
- Book Summaries
- Character Traits
- Inferring
Word Study
- Phonics sound gue (fatigue, league)
- Prefixes, Roots, Suffixes
- Their - there
Writing: Persuasive/Opinion Writing
- Creating BOLD Thesis Statements
We have been practicing writing to a PROMPT. Much practice is needed in this area as students are not explicitly taught this skill. Some errors of concerns in Room 9 writers:
- Capitalization/Punctuation
- Use of paragraphs
- Incomplete sentences
- Incorrectly responding to the prompt - not addressing it!
- Unorganized writing - no structure
- Rereading our piece to make sure it makes sense
We are WORKING HARD to correct these errors and make our writing GREAT!
Math: Unit 5
- Equivalent Fractions
- Patterns in FACTORS
- Problem Solving!
I have made it an expectation that the students log on to xtramath.org Monday - Thursday each week. For each day they log on, I will award him/her a DOJO Point. For days missed I will deduct a DOJO Point. Extra DOJO Points can be awarded for doing xtramath Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. The report I print out each week shows that MOST students have taken me very seriously. It was a pleasure to award DOJO Points for hard work on math facts last week! Thank you for your encouragement in this area.
Science: Plants
- Studying the parts of a seed
- Planting Wisconsin Fast Plants
- Conducting a Scientific Investigation with different variables
Special Helper - JC!
