What is happening in RM 16?
Week of October 1st
Writing: We will begin working on informational paragraphs. We will be reading non-fiction books and writing paragraphs to answer a given question about the topic.
Math: Tomorrow we will be wrapping up our subtraction unit. Your child's subtraction assessment will be coming home with them. Please review this with them and complete the attached pages for practice. These are optional, but are matched to areas your child can grow. I will be pulling kiddos for extra practice in small group as needed, but they can also benefit greatly from extra practice at home. Make sure you take time to celebrate their "glow" areas!!
We will be moving on to multiplication! In second grade, your child learned how to multiply numbers by 0, 1, 2, 5, and 10. In third grade we will fill in the rest of the gaps and apply them to larger problems later in the year. We will be working on various strategies to show our thinking. When practicing is always a good idea to stop every once in a while and ask your child how they got their answer. I bet you they'll have a neat strategy to share with you!
Social Studies: This is your child's last week in Social Studies with Mrs. Feilner. On Friday, they will have a quiz over what they have learned. Look for the study guide to come home tomorrow.
Field Trip
We will have a drawing to determine who will be able to chaperone. We are VERY limited on the number of total adults who may attend due to stadium policy, so we will have a drawing later this month to determine who that will be and then we'll notify everyone. We really wish we could take all adults who would like to go, so we appreciate your understanding. However, we will have another field trip in the spring to the History Museum which will be free and open to all chaperones who are able to attend.
