I hope you all enjoyed seeing your child's video of his/her favorite region of GA on SeeSaw. If you have misplaced the letter that includes the QR code to scan, so that you can see the video and comment just let me know and I can send home another one. This week we also enjoyed a visit from our book buddies, Mrs. Smith's kindergarten class. You would be so proud of how our third graders coached them through sorting their candy hearts, counting them with tally marks and making a bar graph with their results. The students also did well this week practicing telling time to the minute. The most confusing time when looking at an analog clock was identifying times like 8:50, 9:50, etc. Students often wanted to make it the next hour. If you have a few minutes reviewing that at home would be helpful.
QUESTIONS: What was the final decision Mr. Popper had to make at the end of the book and what did he decide? What was your favorite part of Mr. Popper's Penguins? Why is it important to stop and make predictions while reading? What penguin book did you read to your book buddy? REMINDERS: -Students have an opinion/persuasive speech/talk due at the beginning of March. Students have different due dates so check your child's paper. Please help them get started early so they have plenty of time to practice and this is a positive experience for them. -This it the last week of adding 8s to the time test. After break it will include the 9s table. - Wednesday is Valentine's Day and students should bring in a container to hold their Valentines and a card for every student if they are passing out cards. A class list was sent home several weeks ago to help with this. -Parent journals are in the book bag. Please read and respond by Wednesday. - Thank you for helping your child read each night and for initialing the planner. They did much better with that last week. NEXT WEEK: Math: Students will study elapsed time and learn how to determine how much time has gone by- both by looking at a clock and using a number line. Reading and Writing: We will continue to use the Common Core practice book - finding and inferring answers from the text, as well as, enjoying our read aloud The Tale of Desperaux. In writer's workshop the time will be divided between writing their opinion pieces and learning to write a constructed response/short answer when answering questions about reading. Students will be excited to know that on Friday we will watch the Mr. Popper's movie. Have a great week!
