News from 3F

Week of: September 19, 2016

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 continue to be capitals and punctuation. While we will move onto another area of grammar next week, we will continue to review when, where and how to use capitals and punctuation in our everyday writing!

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.

Science: This week we will begin talking about what magnetic forces can do. Our new Vocabulary Words are electromagnet, magnetic force, and permanent magnet.  We will continue to use previous vocabulary words in explaining magnetic forces.

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.
