Homework Expectations:
Third graders are expected to read at least 30 min each night. Research has shown daily independent reading to be one of the most important factors in predicting student success in school. Please encourage your child to read daily, and ask questions about what he/she is reading!
Your child will receive 1 homework sheet (front and back) each week. They are expected to complete one part of each page every night, and will turn in the homework the following morning. It is your child's responsibility to also write down their homework in their agenda everyday. Homework will begin the 2nd week of school.
In each subject this week we will teach student routines, procedures, and expectations of the classroom. We will also incorporate content and team building during these times.
Math: We will begin studying place value. The understanding of place value will help students round, add, subtract, multiply, and divide.
Reading: Students will focus on understanding characters and how characters change. They will read books that have themes of kindness. This week students will read Enemy Pie, Sophie's Master Piece: A Spider's Tale, Last Day Blues, Under the Lemon Moon, and The Can Man.
Writing: Students will set up their writer's workshop notebooks. These will be given out at the beginning of the week. Students will be allowed to take home their notebooks to decorate the front cover. All notebooks must be returned to school no later than Thursday, August 8. Students will begin generating ideas to write true stories.
Social Studies: Students will begin to study the meaning of culture. Students will think about traditions from their culture and compare and contrast theirs to that of others.
