Ms. Passer’s News from Room 106
Week of: September 26th, 2016
Great job to your third grader on their first reading test (second one taken today) and first math test! We had great class averages. It is important that your child is reviewing the night before each test with the materials I either send home or if able to, use the online resources! Remember to read for 30 minutes each night and take AR tests at school after every book you read! Keep up the great work!! 
We began topic 2 today which discussed the multiplication factors of 2 and 5. The students will learn about the different patterns and skip counting to solve the problems dealing with all of the multiplication factors. Keep working on all of your facts at home!! Xtra math is a great website or app for this (I added this to my website!)
In lesson 3 of unit 1, we will practice understanding characters and analyzing/evaluating. The story selection of the week is, “Destiny’s Gift.” In grammar, we will focus on sentence fragments and run-ons. Our vocabulary strategy will be antonyms. Vocabulary Words: raise, spreading, earn, figure, contacted, block, afford, customers
In social studies, we will continue to discuss the different types of communities around the U.S. and world. Solar systems is still the hot topic in science.
