We have had a busy week this week. We are doing assessments for the next report cards which will come home right after the holiday break.
Please continue to work on the cereal box book report. Especially help to make sure your child finishes the book.
Also, there are several in the class who do not know their multiplication facts with enough confidence and speed. The goal is to be able to fluently tell you the math facts without having to think about it or count on their fingers etc. Anyone who does not know their math facts with speed and accuracy will not be able to receive a score of 3 on the Number Operations portion of the report card this semester. I will continue to do timed tests all next week.
Busy week next week:
Monday - Pajama Day and our school writing celebration. Students may wear appropriate pajamas/slippers/robes etc and bring ONE stuffed animal that can fit in their backpack with ease.
Does anyone want to send in hot cocoa, mini marshmallows and styrofoam hot cups?
Tuesday - media center. Please look for overdue books. There are no checkouts allowed if you have an overdue book. Also - Wellstar health program - Temper Tamers (conflict resolution)
Wednesday - Computer Lab with Mr. Tener. We have been learning how to do research on Cobb Virtual Library. This will help us when we have to write a research report next quarter.
Thursday - In the morning we watch the 4th and 5th grade spelling bee. Then we see a magician perform his tricks. After that we have some parents reading and teaching us about different holiday celebrations. After lunch is our official holiday party/celebration.
Curriculum Briefings:
In math we are just finishing up with our multiplication fact fluency.
ELA - We are finishing our book reports. We will also be writing book reviews this week. Check out the bulletin board at the entrance to third grade. We will post our favorite book recommendations there!
SS - We have to finish our study of Susan B. Anthony. We got a little side tracked this week, but will conclude our unit on her life by Wednesday.
Only 4 more days to go...........
