August 22-26

We are off to a great start and last week the children did a wonderful job adapting to new routines. 

This week we will learn to:

• use our Reader's Notebook as a way to keep a log for books we have read or would like to read and as a way to write about the books we are reading.
• make connections with the books we are reading.  Students will have to connect the text to their own life and then use evidence in the book to support their connections.
• generate more writing about a person, event, or experience that is special to them.
• classify writing topics as watermelon stories or seed stories
• make and analyze number grid puzzles
• compare two sets of data
• use a website to generate a bar graph of data collected on students' names
• create a timeline of inventions

REMINDER:
Back to School Night is this Thursday, August 25th.  3rd grade presentations are from 7:15-7:45.
