Here's a look at our learning this week:

Writing & Grammar: We will continue working on how to write personal narratives. We will read examples with great imagery and details to inspire us with our own writings. We will also continue our study of nouns. We will work with plural nouns this week.

Reading: We are continuing to use the characters from Charlotte's Web to help us understand how to describe character traits. We will have an assessment on Friday to show what we've learned. To help your child prepare for this assessment, you can ask them questions about what they're reading at home like "How does the character feel?" "What is the character thinking or saying to show how they're feeling?" "How would you describe the character?" You could also ask them to describe a character from Charlotte's Web.

Social Studies: We will learn that just as we have 3 branches of the National government, we also have 3 branches of our state government. We will learn that the state branches have the same responsibilities as the national branches, but are called different things. Help your child prepare for our quiz on Friday by studying this chart:

Math: We will be adding and subtracting within 1000 this week. We will review some strategies previously learned in 2nd grade and then work with the regrouping strategy. This can be quite tricky with subtraction! Here's a helpful chart.

Reminders:

• Please return the 2 signed forms (the white permission form & the colored brochure) and payment envelope so that your child can participate in our in-house field trip with Diamond Del's.
• Please send in a separate note stating how your child will be going home if there is a tranportation change. Remember to let us know if your child should be staying after school for a club.
• Thank you to everyone who has sent in headphones! Please send in a pair with your child if you have not already done so.

Homework:

• Study spelling words (written in your child's agenda). Quiz will be on Friday.
• Complete the math activities sent home on Monday to be returned Friday.
• Read at least 20 minutes each night and log your book & minutes on biblionasium. 
• Do something helpful at home 😀 (vacuum, laundry, dishes, help with dinner, etc)

Have a great week!

Please let me or Mrs. Keith know if you have any questions or concerns.
