Welcome to Quarter 1 Week 7

We are looking forward to another wonderful week in third grade! Here are a few important reminders and academic updates for the week.

Typing Practice

If your child would like extra typing practice at home, they may log in to TypingClub at www.typingclub.com using their Clever QR code glued inside their agenda. Typing practice will never be a homework assignment or requirement, but it is available as an optional resource if this kind of activity interests your student and is something your family approves of.

IXL Math Practice

IXL will never be a homework assignment or requirement, but it is available as an optional resource for students who enjoy additional practice and families who would like to use it at home.

Academic Updates

Grammar: We will continue analyzing adverbs in sentences and begin procedural writing. Scholars will have an Adverb Quiz on Wednesday.

History: We will begin our new unit on the Earliest Americans. Scholars will have a vocabulary quiz on Friday.

Science: We study of Life Cycles, Traits, and Variations as we prepare for our upcoming science assessment on Tuesday 9/29

Math: We will continue building our multiplication skills, focusing on understanding multiplication as repeated addition and developing fluency with our facts.

New Poem: By Myself by Eloise Greenfield 

When I’m by myself
And I close my eyes
I’m a twin
I’m a dimple in a chin
I’m a room full of toys
I’m a squeaky noise
I’m a gospel song
I’m a gong
I’m a leaf turning red
I’m a loaf of brown bread
I’m a whatever I want to be
An anything I care to be

And when I open my eyes
What I care to be
Is me
