Newsletter--Week of 9/21

News from 3P

Week of: September 21, 2015

Reading and Language Arts: This week we will continue to work with fairy tales and Point of View. Students will be reading stories and highlighting the character’s point of view on their own. We will also continue to focus on making connections: text to text, text to self, text to world. Students should be reading at least 25 minutes for homework every night!

Grammar: The focus this week will be nouns: common and proper nouns. Students will continue to make connections with these types of nouns (for example: school and Lowell Elementary School). From here, we will be moving on to look at singular and plural nouns.

Writing: We will continue to work on opinion writing. This week the prompt will be as follows: Do you enjoy the fall season? Why or why not? Use your reasons and evidence to prove your opinion.

Social Studies: This week we will be discussing work life and a child’s life during pioneer times. Students will also be assigned a Pioneer quilt project towards the end of the week. Look for that to be coming home.

Math: This week we will continue with multiplication/division. We will focus on the distributive property and will also touch on multiplication of 1’s and 0’s. Please make sure to continue to help your child with multiples of 3.
