What a spooktacular day! Thank you so much for helping make our party a huge success. Whether you volunteered or donated items, I really appreciate your generosity. I also want to thank everyone for donating to our classroom basket. I hope to see you there!
Language Arts: We continue working on revising and editing our work. We have also practiced adding more details to our writing by starting with pictures and writing after sketching out the scenes of our stories.
Science: We just finished our unit on Forces and Motion. The kids did great and we had so much fun learning about friction, force, push and pull, why things move, the speed and direction of movement, the affect gravity has on objects, and much more!
Social Studies: This week we kicked off our Michigan unit. We discussed natural resources and we learned about copper mining in northern Michigan. We found out that long ago people use to use copper for many things including making jewelry. We made our own copper necklaces and discussed that if we had made our jewelry long ago we could've used it to barter for other goods. Next week we will switch and visit all of the other third grade teachers to learn more interesting facts about Michigan.
Math: We have been focusing mostly on number stories and also addition and subtraction facts. The children are also showing off their knowledge of those facts and working on multi-digit addition and subtraction. Some of you have asked when multiplication timed testing begins. We will start right after Thanksgiving. I will add where your child is on their weekly report so you know where they are at the end of each week.
Next week I will be sending home conference confirmation slips. If you still haven’t sent your slip in, please do so as soon as possible! Have a wonderful weekend and go Rams!!!
