Weekly News



November 26-30
*Parents: Please remember to sign your student's planner each night. Your signature verifies that they have studied their spelling words, practiced math facts, and read for 20 minutes. This is an important part of 3rd grade and I appreciate you partnering with me on this. Also, Powerdrills are due EVERY THURSDAY and Study Island is due EVERY FRIDAY.  
 
Reading: We are starting Unit 3 in Lead 21. We are studying the question “How does geography affect a community?” We are also working on the skills: ask & answer questions, multiple meaning words, and consonant patterns.

Math: We are still in Unit 7 and this week we are continuing to work on using patterns in data tables and graphs to solve problems. We will also work on multiplication problem solving strategies.

Social Studies: This week we will continue our tour of the northeast region. We will visit Boston, the Erie Canal, and Hershey Pennsylvania! The students will learn how an assembly line was created at the Hershey factory and even make one of their own.

Important Dates:  
          Tuesday 11/27- Early Dismissal
          Friday 11/30- Leawood Leopard Day! 
          Wednesday 12/ 5- FLAT STANLEY PROJECT DUE


Study Island This Week: Main Idea & Details and Model Multiplication & Division.
