We had another great and busy week in 3rd grade!!! Here’s the rundown:

Reading:
We started guided reading groups and continued working on our reading stamina. I told your children that they ARE allowed to take home books that I give to them, but should come back and forth on a daily basis. Your children did a GREAT job on their first week of logging their reading. I sent home a clean reading log today and it is due back the following Friday.

Writing:
We continued working in our writer’s notebooks and learned a few new strategies for developing ideas. Your child also chose a topic to start writing for their personal narrative. I am very excited to see the stories they write!

Math:
We took our Chapter 1 math test today and it went very well! After each chapter math test I will send home an IPP (Individual Progress Plan) sheet with the chapter broken down and how your child did. I can’t send home the actual test but will have them available at parent teacher conferences for you to see.

Social Studies:
We finished writing our Class Pledge and are learning more about our rights and responsibilities as citizens, students and kids at home! Check our our class pledge:

Our classroom pinkie promises
that we will not hurt others
we will have fun, be safe and
and work our hardest
and we will show respect to everyone!

Please make sure your 3rd grader gets their REST this weekend! We have MAP testing starting on Monday and all week. I want them to do their best and by being rested and having a healthy breakfast every morning they will be set up to do just that.

Don’t forget:
Thursday-5:30-6:30-Back to School Night-Sign up for parent teacher conferences, volunteering and classroom parties will be here!
Thursday night-5:30-7:30-Book Fair

I hope you all have a relaxing weekend! If the weather holds out, my husband and I will be bringing our son Henry to his first badger game! Have a great weekend!

Mrs. Luehmann :)

Dear Families,

Thanks for being such a huge part in a successful start to the school year! We are off and running here in 3rd grade and your children are VERY hard workers! Here is a run down of what we've been doing:

Reading:
I was able to complete the beginning of the year reading assessments today and am very excited to get started with guided reading groups on Monday. We have been working on picking out Just Right books using the IPICK model and also building up our reading stamina. The goal for this semester it to be able to read for 30 minutes or longer! Keep your eyes open for your child's first reading homework log, coming home with them on Monday!

I=I choose
P=What is my Purpose?
I=Is it interesting?
C=am I Comprehending?
K=Do I Know the words? (we shouldn't be missing more than 3 per page)

Writing:
We created our writer's notebooks this week and have started to free write, while building up our writing stamina. We have been talking a lot about how writers choose ideas and know what to write about. I have been giving your children a lot of examples of things that I enjoy writing about. It would be great if you could do the same at home!

Math:
We are working our way through Chapter 1! You may be asking yourself, why are my child's homework sheets so random? The reason for this is that Chapter 1 is some review from 2nd grade concepts and some new information. The Everyday Math program is a spiraling program, which means we will come back to concepts again and again this year. If your child had some issues with a homework assignment these past 2 weeks, do not worry! We will cover the concepts again. :)

Science and Social Studies:
We are working on learning what our rights and responsibilities are at home, school and in our community. Please talk with your child about their rights and responsibilities in all three places. We also have been working hard on our power points all about us! We are going to be presenting these to one another and continually build a stronger community in our classroom by getting to know one another!

We also finished reading the book Donovan's Word Jar and shared some of our collections. I will have classroom volunteer sign up sheets at Back to School Night. If you are unable to make that night, and would like to volunteer, please email me with a few time slots that work for you.

Have a great weekend!

Mrs. Luehmann :)
