Soling Class Newsletter
By: Mrs. Soling
Welcome to Third Grade!
This week we took time to share our "All About Me" bags in class. We practiced using our indoor voices and even had time to earn some extra marbles for an upcoming marble party. Once the students earn 30 marbles they can vote on a class party. I will let you know a day or two ahead of time so your child can plan to bring something to school if needed. Enjoy your weekend and remember to charge the Chromebooks for Monday.
Reading
We read a variety of picture books this week and started our first read aloud - Frindle by Andrew Clements. The students even created their own Google Slideshow to show the literary elements of Frindle. Ask your child to show his or her slideshow to you this weekend. Remember that reading logs are always due on Monday mornings. Next week we are starting our first Reading Street story and creating our guided reading groups.
Math
In math we are learning how to use our new Envision math on our Chromebooks. This week we only focused on Topic 1, lesson 1-1 so the students are aware of what to expect each day. Next week the students will have homework assigned through the Envision math to practice at night. Please encourage your child to take his or her time and to ask questions if needed.
