Announcements
Conference confirmation times were sent home in the Friday folder last week. Please let me know as soon as possible if you did not receive yours or need to reschedule. It is a Paxton Keeley expectation that I meet with each family face-to-face. Thank you in advance for helping me reach this goal!
On Wednesday, we did another Makerspace challenge with Mrs. Hanson! Students created Valentine cards using a circuit. They did a wonderful job on this challenge, as it was very difficult to accomplish. Students were excellent listeners, did not get frustrated when their circuit didn't work at first, and were excellent helpers for each other. Act surprised if you get this card tomorrow for Valentine's Day! : )
In the Classroom
In math this week, we continued to focus on multiplication. Students learned how to work through a word problem using a multiplication/division diagram. Using this tool, we were able to use multiple strategies for both operations and solve for the unknown letter.
We finally finished our study of non-fiction summary writing! Students focused on finding those main ideas and supporting details for each chapter.
This week, students took their post-test for informational writing. I will be sharing these at our conferences. We also began revising and editing our non-fiction pieces. Students revised with a partner on Tuesday.
We started our next science unit, Force, this week. Students learned about pushes/pulls and how they could beat an adult at tug of war. Ask your third grader to share some of the ideas we discussed!
