SEP's are quickly approaching. Please watch for your child's appointment which will be scheduled for one of the days next week. Please look the date and time over and send back the bottom half of the sheet letting me know whether or not you can make it. I really look forward to meeting with you and your child!
Leveled Library- The leveled library has been sending books home for a couple of weeks now. Some of you may be concerned that your child is not receiving a take home book. If your child is reading above an independent level "S", it has been thought that the content of the books are a bit mature for the third grade developmental level. If you are needing access to books and would still like to have your child participate, let us know and we can send home a book with the take home library. The book selected will probably be on a level lower than what your child is reading on, but it will still benefit them on their higher reading level. Also, you have the option to come into the reading center and choose higher level books that you approve of. We can discuss this further at SEP's.
Field Trip- Our field trip is still scheduled for Thursday, Sep. 27th. We will be leaving the school by 9:00 and returning in time for students that ride buses. Please accept our apologies to those who wanted to join us as volunteers. Since we will only be taking one bus, space is very limited. Thank you though for your willingness to help us out!
Math Groups- The differentiated math groups have seemed to cause anxiety for some folks. As of today, we will no longer switch the students into math groups. Our new chapter this week is on subtraction. Today we spent our math time making up subtraction stories and compiling a class book. During this week, we will discuss subtracting on a hundreds chart. I will also make sure each child has mastered the "borrowing" concept. Any extra practice at home is much appreciated!
Times Tables- We will be passing 11's off this week. Next will be 12's. Thanks for all of your work at home. The students are progressing quicker than ever!
Daily 5- Business as usual. We have talked about how to pick a "good fit" book. The students should be choosing more appropriate books when attending the library.
Have a great week!!
