April 29, 2016 Newsletter
Reading:
We started EOG review this week. Students are working in groups. The students in the groups take turns being the facilitator. Ask your student about the work they’ve been doing. (See picture to the right on the Twitter feed.) We will continue meeting with reading groups, to read and discuss vocabulary. They are working on assignments independently on Google Classroom to show comprehension of their book.
Language/Writing:
The class is finishing up their fractured fairytales. They are publishing their final copy by typing or making books with illustrations. Some have been finishing and sharing them on their SeeSaw accounts. Next we will begin informative writing by doing state reports.
Math:
Our Team Time groups in third grade have been working on elapsed time. We began our measurement unit yesterday and will then start EOG review. We will follow the same format for math review as we are for reading review by using groups. I also have a trial subscription to ixl.com to practice math skills for the EOG. I have found it to be a good review method in the past. I will send the students' usernames and passwords home. There are language arts skills, but in my opinion the math is better and worth their time more than the language arts skills.
Science:
We will begin our science plant and soil unit on Wednesday.
