Third Grade -
My third grade students will take the Cognitive Abilities test this week on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday mornings. Please make sure your child is in bed by 8:00 p.m. and eats a healthy breakfast each morning!
In Language Arts we will read a chapter book title Eruption. This is a nonfiction book through which we will make text connections to Earthquake in the Early Morning. The students are doing a great job making connections between various pieces of literature. As we continue to learn about nouns in our writing, we will use a program called Inspiration to create a web of common and proper nouns on our laptops.
In Math we will be working on multiplication. We will learn about repeated addition and how it relates to multiplication. We will also use manipulatives and arrays (multiplication pictures) to represent multiplication facts. The students will begin multiplying by 2's and 3's. They will use 'skip counting' to solve these multiplication facts. Please encourage your child to practice these facts at home. Begin with the 2's and review each evening. The children will begin to commit these facts to memory through daily repetition and review. Thank you for your support!
Second Grade-
In Math we will be creating and reading pictographs. We will use The Graph Club software on our laptops to make some graphs of our own. We will also review the many skills we have learned this nine weeks in preparation for our unit assessment.
Our vowel pattern of the week is the sound of 'ai' as in the word train. We will make a 'train' word slide as we read words with this vowel pattern. We will read Pony Rides and use sentence strips to sequence the parts of our story.

We will continue learning about the value of numbers to 30. We will work with base 10 manipulatives to build tens and ones on our place value mats.
In Reading we will review the sound of short 'u' and read a great story titled Jump Up, Pup. It will be fun to play the riddle game as we search for short u words within the story.
