WELCOME TO THE THIRD GRADE!!!

Sorry for the delay in updating the class website. We had some technical issues to work through : ) Hopefully your child is enjoying the first week in third grade! We spent some time getting to know each other and are beginning to get into the swing of things now. Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions! Next week we will be starting some work in our reading series and I will continue to do some informal assessments to put together Book Clubs. We are already learning how to write in our writer's notebooks and how to form a great paragraph in writing. Spelling lists will start next Wednesday. In science we will be learning about life cycles, adaptations,comparisons form old and new animals and changes in habitats. Be sure to ask your child about some of the guests we will soon be having in our classroom! We started our math program yesterday and will be doing lesson 1.3 tomorrow. Please continue to practice addition and subtraction math facts at home. I would like the students to begin using strategies to add and subtract mentally. Please sign assignment books each night, even if no homework was assigned. Thank you for all you do!!! Posted by Mrs. Wright on 8/28/08; 12:59:48 PM from the dept. Discuss
