Welcome November!

Whew!  What a whirlwind last week was.  With conferences, Halloween, and a full moon it was a jam packed week of crazy fun! :)

It was wonderful to see so many families at conferences.  I was able to meet with almost everyone and truly enjoyed my time with each of you.  Thank you for taking the time to come in and meet with me.

This week we are beginning a new story, Arrow to the Sun, and continuing our study of the regions of the United States.  We also continue working with multiplication and division in math.  We have covered almost all of our facts at this point, so we will continue to practice strategies to make ourselves more efficient and fluent with those facts.  Science has us looking at the engineering design process and we are trying our hands at an assembly line this week.  Which will be more efficient, working alone or in an assembly line?

One other important piece of news to pass on is Picture Retake Day.  Retakes will take place on Friday, November 6th for those interested.

Short Week

Hello All!

We have a 3 day week for students this week, with Teacher Inservice on Thursday and Friday. Because of the shortened week, students will have the same Words Their Way words for 2 weeks. Words can be found below:

Welcome!

Welcome 3rd Grade Families!

Our year is off to a great start.  We are getting settled in and moving to our normal schedule now, which means we are beginning Words Their Way and WIN (What I Need) groups.  These are wonderful instructional times where students receive differentiated instruction to meet their needs.

In an effort to move toward "paperless", Words Their Way lists will be posted on the 3rd grade teachers' blogs each week.  Lists for all groups will be posted here, so regardless of who your child's Words Their Way teacher is, your student's list can be found here.

I hope you will find the blog to be a helpful source of information for what is happening at SES and in 3rd grade!
