What a fun filled week we had! Thank you so much for the Halloween party donations. Our treats were just the cutest and they tasted equally as yummy! Our Pie Event turned out great! Thank you for taking the time to come and prepare materials so that this whole thing could happen. One of my very favorite things is seeing kids' big hearts in action. Listening to them as they planned who needed that pie, and the giggles as they mixed up their apples just filled me up. What an incredible bunch of kids. They will move mountains some day! Please remember to send me the pie delivery pic if you were able to snap one! We will celebrate their big hearts in class. If you were unable to make it, that's ok! We will have plenty of student service opportunities coming up. :) This week is conference week. Report cards will be coming home in backpacks on Monday. If you are unsure what time your conference is, please contact me! I look forward to celebrating your child's success with you! Curriculum Update: Math: We are continuing our work with multiplication and division. This week we will focus on word problems and square numbers (it is crazy what 3rd graders do now!). Reading: We are well into our mystery unit now. Students are working hard on doing the mind work that goes along with reading. Many kiddos are reading "above" the expected grade level when it comes to fluency and accuracy, we are working on making our thinking match that level as well. Students are working on evaluating their own thinking so that they are able to set accurate reading goals as well. Writing: Students are working on picking a topic for their persuasive essay. We have brainstormed many wonderful ideas already. We will be focusing on developing a thesis and using boxes and bullets to help organized our writing. Social Studies: We are working on our economics unit now. Our focus is currently on goods & services, consumers & producers, and wants vs. needs.
