iReady Math will take place during Reading block on Tuesday 1/26

Math:

- We will continue with Chapter 9, Comparing Fractions. The Chapter Review will be on Thursday, January 28th and the Unit Assessment on Friday, January 29th. Online review homework will open on Wednesday, January 27th. We will begin Chapter 10, Time, Length, Liquid Volume, and Mass on Monday, February 1st.

- In Math we will use a journal each day. Please help your child remember that this journal must be brought to school every day. These journals serve as excellent review materials and we encourage you to look at them each night to review what we did in class and to study the vocabulary words.

3rd Grade Math homework: Our expectation is that homework should be completed nightly except on the days we complete our Chapter tests, then there will be no homework. We are asking that your child complete the entire backside of the homework assignment, as the spiral review will reinforce all concepts taught throughout the year. We also expect them to complete the assigned problems on the front of each homework assignment, which will be stated in the homework chart (see above) at the beginning of each week.

Chapter 8 and 9 Vocabulary

whole – all the parts of one shape or group

equal parts – parts that are exactly the same size

fraction – a number that names part of a whole or part of a group

unit fraction – a fraction that has 1 as its top number, or numerator

numerator – the part of a fraction above the line, which tells how many parts are being counted

denominator – the part of the fraction below the line, which tells how many equal parts there are in the whole or in the group

fraction greater than 1 – a fraction that has a numerator greater than its denominator

halves – divided into 2 equal parts

thirds – divided into 3 equal parts

fourths – divided into 4 equal parts

sixths – divided into 6 equal parts

eighths – divided into 8 equal parts

equivalent – two or more sets that name the same amount

equivalent fractions – two or more fractions that name the same amount

- If your child is struggling with any of the concepts please contact Ms. Thresher or Miss Comendeiro.

- On our 3rd grade website under the Math section, you will find different resources to help reinforce the skills we are working on. Under the Math section you will also be able to find a list of the Think Central Go Math Interventions that align with the chapter we are working on in our classroom.  Intervention videos will "show" how things are being taught and will give you better insight into how to "help" your child at home. 

- If your child is absent when a math lesson is taught, he/she can go onto ThinkCentral to view the "Intervention" lesson for that particular skill. This will "teach" what was missed at school and hopefully help to prepare them for when they return.

- The log-in and password for Think Central has been placed on the inside cover of your child's planner.  Please utilize Go Math to help your child practice math concepts at home.  It can be accessed at  .  We will be assigning each student all of the interventions as we go through each chapter.  Please encourage your child to review previously taught materials through these intervention pieces.

World Lab

This week we in Social Studies we will begin our Black History Month unit. During this unit we will learn about influentional African Americans in history. Our test for this unit will be on Friday, January 29th. Please make sure your child brings their newspaper to school everyday because we use it daily in class. Be sure to review the vocabulary and notes in the world lab journal, and the Studies Weekly each night to guide interesting discussions about what we are learning in class.

The Studies Weekly website is an excellent resource for reading the newspapers. The website also has review games that the students can play to help them review the material taught in class.

Language Arts:

This week we will be working on two FSA Skills; Finding the Theme and Story Structure. Please review the notes that will be glued in journals, these are two extremely important skills.

Please be sure to monitor your child’s written sentences at home, ensuring that conventions are being utilized (capital letter to start, punctuation at the end). We notice this is an issue for third graders this year.

Homework for the week:

Please make sure to read 30 minutes each night.

Fluency Practice:

Fluency: There are two of the same passage for the nightly fluency check. One is for you to follow as your child reads. Use the table at the bottom to record scores once each night. Your child should only be reading this passage for one minute.

Reminders:

o School starts at 8:45, but students are allowed in the classroom starting at 8:15.

o Please remember to sign the planner each night.

o Please note in the planner if there is a change in dismissal.

Please let us know if you have any questions.  You can reach us by e-mail at:
