Literacy: Inferring! 

We discussed Grace's feelings, thought about her problem, how it was solved, and how she changed by the end of the book
Students are asked to state their evidence or clues, and reviewed setting.
Coming up we will continue to work on this strategy through a double entry journal.


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. Students will continue to share, take responsibility for their sharing/learning, and refer to the text to prove ideas and thoughts.


Math: Unit 2

We have continued through Unit 2 with equal groups, arrays, and number stories! We looked at arrays and how if you "turn them around" you get the "turn around fact!"
We have been reviewing rounding and place value. In third grade we learn up to the 100,000s and are expected to round and add/subtract 5 digit numbers. This is a big switch from second grade, and we will continue to spiral back to these number sense concepts to build a stronger foundation!


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! 

Art Adventure!
