First quarter has flown by! The 14th is the official last day of the 1st quarter! Your kiddos are professional 3rd graders now and you should be SO proud!!!
Writing- Students finished their first personal narrative this week. We took about a week and a half to walk through and learn about the process, using a good beginning to hook your reader, and a good ending to wrap things up! Next week, we will review a few things and then the class will begin working on their 1st quarter writing prompt where they will use the writing process and produce a narrative on their own. Reading- We have started meeting in our reading groups this week. Students also took their first quarter reading assessment. Those will come home on Monday. You will also receive an email from Mastery Connect.Their score on the reading tracker does not determine their reading level. The assessment they took checks for comprehension and reading skills. If you see yellow and red, these are standards that we will cover again in groups and in class, so they can and will be reassessed. :) Math- We finished up Topic 3 and took our topic assessment Friday. It was a little trickier than the other assessments we have taken. It dealt mainly with the distributive property.Look for those to come home in the next couple of days. Our next topic covers multiplication and we'll begin to cover some division again. At home: you can be working with your child on memorizing their facts. Cards are fairly inexpensive. ($1-$5 ) and I have a couple of sets you can check out but ask that they are returned in a week so others can have a chance if they need them.
