Congratulations to everyone for such a successful fund raiser and Tritt Tiger Dash! I'm so proud of our class. They did such a great job cheering on the other classes that we won the Kindness Award.
They also had a great math lesson on Friday, thanks to Mrs. Dean and technology. They used the Sphero SPRK+ robots to practice multiplication. The repeated addition strategy helped them to write a program which made the robot roll a certain amount of inches, and they used a loop to repeat the program. How engaging! If your child has me for math be sure and ask them how they did this. REMINDERS: - Our field trip to Tellus is on Thursday. 1. Students should wear their red Tritt shirts. 2. Each child may bring NO MORE than $5.00 and each child is responsible for keeping up with his money. There are many items in the gift shop under $5.00. 3. If you checked that your child is bringing her own lunch please make sure it is in a disposable container and has his name on it. -Since we met our 4th goal electronics day is this Friday. We will still have math and reading, but the rest of the day is reserved for electronics fun. Students may bring 1-2 electronic games, toys, etc. Please label them with names!! Neither Tritt nor I are responsible for damaged or lost items. There are I Pads in the room for any student that doesn't bring anything. NEXT WEEK: Math- We will add the 4s to our Friday time test. Students will also continue to learn how to multiply larger numbers using the distributive property. Reading - Now that the students know how to use a character's actions and dialogue to determine their traits they will learn how to write about it. They will use sentence stems such as: - In the book Opal _______, so I know that she is__responsible. - The text states that Opal ___________, so I can determine that she is ____________. - When Opal said, "_____" that told me she is ___________. Using evidence from the text to prove your thinking is a huge third grade skill that we will work on all year. Writing: Integrating what they are learning in reading students will learn to use and punctuate dialogue to help develop the characters in their Monster Playhouse fictional narratives. They will finish and publish these stories this week. After I read them and give the students a glow and a grow they will bring home their stories for your enjoyment. Science: In the ILC, the science lab and the classroom students will investigate fossils learning about the different types and how they are formed. Have a safe and happy Halloween!
