September 26th-30th

Hello Families of Room 2!
Listed below are the important reminders and objectives for our week.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks!

Important Reminders:

• Picture Day is this Wednesday, September 28th! Our picture time is at 11:30 (before lunch and recess-woohoo!) 
• Please remember to have your child turn in their monthly reading logs on Friday or the beginning of next week!
• Spelling tests are this week!  Please let me know if you misplaced your spelling words and need an extra set for your child to study at home.

Weekly Objectives:

Writing:  This week we will be publishing our narrative pieces in Google Drive!  Ask your child to "share" their document with you and you can check out their work through your email!  On Monday of next week, we will celebrate with all third grade classes by going around to each room and reading our friends' narrative pieces.

Reading: During reader's workshop we will begin a new reading unit: Character Studies.  We will focus on getting to know the characters in our books and understanding character traits.  As a class, we will use the book Because of Winn Dixie as a mentor text to work together to study characters.

Social Studies:  This week we will be starting Chapter 2: Land Forms and Continents.  We will discuss the 7 continents and 5 oceans!

Math:  This week we will begin Chapter 3: Subtraction.  We will focus on estimating differences, and subtraction with regrouping using three and four digit numbers.  The test for this chapter is tentatively scheduled for next week on Thursday, October 6th.

Have a great week!
