Announcements
You will find a yellow form in the Friday Folder with the date/time of your conference. Please let me know as soon as possible if this does not work and we need to reschedule. It is a Paxton expectation that I have 100% attended conferences. Thank you in advance for helping me reach this goal!
The optional October reading logs are due on Monday. The November log is in the Friday folder.
There will be no November book order because of the school book fair happening conference week. Make sure to stop by to pick up some great books and support Paxton!
This week has been Media Literacy week! We have done a different activity each day to promote media awareness. If you are interested in learning more about discussing this topic with your 3rd grader, check out this guide.
We had a great Fall Party!
In the Classroom
We wrapped up our Life Cycle unit last week by studying the chicks! They hatched earlier than anticipated, so we were able to have them in our room for the whole week.
This week, we went back to Ecosystems. We did a Mystery Science that involved digging for fossils to see how an ecosystem may have changed over time.
We also learned how people, nature, and animals can change ecosystems. Next week, we will study Heredity.
In reading this week, we read about King Midas. We used this myth to practice inferring, identifying plot elements, and comparing/contrasting. In writing, students are analyzing opinion pieces. We learned how to state your opinion, organize your reasons, and support with evidence from the text.
We finished Unit 2 this week in math! I will keep these tests to share at our conference. This unit concluded with division work where students learned how to use arrays to divide with and without a remainder.
