We have had a successful September and are now ready for an awesome October! 🎃🍂
I will be sending home some October notes with your child tomorrow. Please check their backpack for our October book orders, school newsletter, class calendar (also attached to this email), our new October home reading goal, and a class website address card for your child to use to help them access our 3F website from home.
Here are some quick updates for our class:
📚 Learning Updates 📝
Math - We will be wrapping up data and graphing and moving on to place value and representing numbers. Students will be working on 2 digit and 3 digit place value skills. This will include recognizing and representing numbers in various ways using words, numbers, pictures, and hands on manipulatives such as base ten blocks.
Language Arts - As a class, we completed a 2 week rotation of word sort training last week. Students will now be in smaller groups working on sorts at their current spelling levels. As Thanksgiving weekend approaches, we will be working on some fun seasonal writing projects, including thankful turkeys and our favourite Thanksgiving traditions. As always, daily reading remains a priority for students at school and at home. Thank you for all of your support with home reading! It truly makes a difference.
Social - We are finishing our Imagination Islands this week and then will be switching to Science for the rest of October.
Science - We will be starting our study of rocks and minerals! If you or anyone you know has a geology background or an impressive rock collection, please let me know as it is always fun to enhance our learning with a visit from a local expert!
