Reminders for October:
· Uniform Reminders: Please remember to wear proper uniform EVERY day. See page 6 in the handbook if you have questions about the dress code.
· Progress Reports should be read and signed by parents every Friday, to be returned to the teacher by Monday. Students getting a “Needs Improvement” or ‘Poor” in the homework row is indicative of the student not turning in work. Please reinforce the importance of completing your work.
· Tutoring: I will contact you if your student is to be coming to tutoring.
· Homework will be written in the daily planner. Students turn in homework daily, so it is important that they are staying on top of their homework. Nightly homework includes:
o Read 20 minutes and Reading Journal- This nightly reading is critical to your students reading development. Each student has a reading journal to write in.
o Finish Daily Math
o Finish any other unfinished work from class- Unfinished work is to be finished as homework.
· Literacy: We will be focusing on the skills necessary to summarize and then will be writing summaries.
· Math: Students are continuing to master estimation, rounding, answering word problems, and using visual models with addition and subtraction.
· Science: Time permitting, we will begin our astronomy unit.
· Social Studies: Third grade will finish the geography unit about reading maps, oceans, continents, major rivers, and the location of our community.
· Writing: Students are learning to write high quality descriptive paragraphs. We continue to emphasize the writing process.
· Character: The character trait for October is respect.
· CALENDAR REMINDERS:
o October 20: Awards ceremony at 1:00 PM. Parents are encouraged to attend. You will be contacted if your child is to win an award.
o October 21: Conferences. Please sign and return the conference letter.
o October 24-31: Fall Break, no school.
