November News

WOW! Our class contributed 640 Box Tops to win the fall contest and cupcake treat. Our second deadline to turn in more Box Tops is in December. 

Reading - Ask your child what he has been reading. Individual interests are really showing now. Currently, nonfiction books, chapter books, and biographies are favorites. AR scores are reaching new heights.Keep up the good work!

Writing - We have been working on writing detailed sentences with correct grammar and punctuation. We have been using the 4 square approach for developing paragraphs and stories. Narrative and informational writing have been introduced.

Math - Multiplication, division and geometry have been our main focus this 9 weeks. Your child should have mastered facts through 6 by now. Daily practice is necessary if these facts are not mastered. Facts about polygons, triangles, angles, and circles have all been introduced.

Spelling - Please remember that the Sitton spelling words have to be spelled correctly in everyday writing. Spelling grades are composed of both the tests and daily application of the words.

Social Studies/Science - The study of important historical figures is part of our Social Studies curriculum this year. Our first in depth study is on Paul Revere. We have been studying economics for the last couple of weeks. Our economics test will be this Friday, November 21. We enjoyed our trip to Heritage Park, and will continue to study fossils, soil and Georgia habitats.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We have finished standardized testing until the spring. I was proud of the way the children worked. Some sessions were very long, but most seemed to try their best. We are now ready to get  back on schedule. We will continue with our rock and democracy lessons in science and social studies. We will begin lessons on multiplication. Multiplication.com is a good site for practice of multiplication facts. All third grade Sitton spelling words are on the Sitton Spelling link on our blog's sidebar. I particularly like the timed game on the site. 

Thank you again for all of the support for our Boosterthon Run. I was able to purchase a class set of Scholastic News (similar to Weekly Reader), several class sets of books, books on Cd for our listening center,  and more with our percentage of the funds raised.

Are you remembering to read at least 15 minutes every night. Try to read from different sources: magazines, newspapers, comic books, fiction books, and nonfiction books. You need to remember to take at least 2 AR tests every week. Don't forget to turn in your reading logs at the end of the month.

                    Welcome to our class. Remember to read at least 15 minutes every day for homework.  Don't forget to practice multiplication facts:)
