Happy October: A Week in our Shoes! 






Can you figure out what these picture puzzles are saying? Ask a third grader!


Literacy: Monitoring & Visualizing!


Visualize, visualize, visualize! That's what we have been doing! We have been logging the books we read during IDR, sharing our mental images, and discussing our schema! Through our Making Meaning curriculum, we have also been focusing on social emotional goals as well. We have been reflecting on how to be a fair partner, listen respectfully, and analyzing the effect of their behavior on others and on the group work. 


Math: Unit 1!

This week we continued our review of mathematical concepts such as time, place value, rounding, sharing of equal groups (division), and multiplication. Next week we will wrap up our review and measure temperature. At the end of the week we will show off our skills on our Unit 1 Assessment!

Math homelinks should not be taking extended amounts of time, or causing extensive frustration. Please contact me if this is happening. We are learning the skills daily in class, and we have discussed what the role "learner" means. It is our job to ask questions for understanding as our community should be a safe place to ask questions and make mistakes. Sometimes learning is a healthy struggle; not everything comes easy! Learning this can be hard and frustrating, but that helps us become stronger! 




A Peek into Next Week: 

  • Please sign up for conferences if you haven't already!
  • Visualizing and inferences!
    • Investigating our schema and how it helps us understand and learn!
    • Assess Math Unit 1 concepts!
    • Continuing with cursive and writing!
