Third Grade News – Week of August 23-27, 2021
https://msbhogan.weebly.com/ Binders along with agendas are come home every day. The agenda will be used to notify parents of upcoming tests, important information, as well as notifying you of behavior. Students will earn a stamp each day. If students do not follow the expectations a note will be written in that particular day versus a stamp. I do ask that you look at the agenda AND sign daily to see how your child’s day was. The school is implementing a new reward system this year, and to make all our busy lives just a little bit easier – we have an app for that!! 😊 You can track your child’s progress as well. The PBIS points can be viewed in Classlink. Last week, students learned how to view their points using the app in Classlink. *All new students had a school issued device come home last week. IF they are broken you will incur a $100 fee and if they are lost, you will incur a $250 fee. If the plug is lost, the replacement fee is $30. *Please make sure to send the following each day with your child:
The cafeteria will be offering “Pal Packs” this year. The pals are available to students who bring their lunch from home and need a little extra food, free of cost. They will receive fresh fruit, a whole grain snack, and a milk. Reading: This week students will begin our literary standards by reading stories and learning about characters and their traits and settings in stories. Character traits are different than feelings. Students have notes in their binder to refer to. We will be discussing character traits through our read aloud book. Phonics (Group 1): Students began learning vowel teams today. These are ee, ea, ie, ai, ay, oe, oa, ue, and ui. There will be notes in the student binder under phonics. ch, sh, and th diagraphs last week. This week we will continue learning more diagraphs. There will be a test on diagraphs and vowel teams on Monday, 8/23. Notes in their binder can be used to help them study. Phonics (Group 2): Students will continue learning about open and closed syllables while learning where to divide VC/CV, VCCCV, V/CV, VC/V, AND V/V words. An open syllable is divided after the long vowel as in o/pen and a closed syllable is divided after a consonant that follows a short vowel as in drag/on. The students are taking notes in their binder that will help them study prior to tests. There will be a test on Monday, 8/23 on the open/closed syllables. Notes in their binder can be used to help them study. Grammar (Group 1): In grammar, we will be learning about concrete and abstract nouns. An abstract noun is a noun that can be seen, touched, heard. Example: car, dog, paper. A concrete noun is a noun that can NOT be seen, touched, heard as in a feeling or idea. Examples: nightmare, love, friendship. Students will have notes in their binder with this information. Grammar (Group 2): Students will be learning about concrete and abstract nouns in the beginning of the week. Towards the end of the week, students will continue to learn about homophones. Homophones are words that sound the same but have different spellings and meanings; two/to/too, their/there/they’re. Students will have notes in their binder for this information. Writing: We have begun working on narrative writing. This week students will begin to write a personal narrative. Math (Group 1): This week students are going to be learning about area & distributive property. Students will be expected to use tiling to show in a concrete case that the area of a rectangle with whole-number side lengths a and b + c is the sum of a x b and a x c. Use area models to represent the distributive property in mathematical reasoning.D.C.7d Recognize area as additive. Find areas of rectilinear figures by decomposing them into non-overlapping rectangles and adding the areas of the non-overlapping parts, applying this technique to solve real world problems. Math (Group 2): This week we are working on rounding to the nearest tens and hundreds. Students will be expected to use place value understanding to round whole numbers to the nearest 10 or 100. Science: Today we began our unit on the habitats of Georgia. Students will be expected to ask questions to differentiate between plants, animals, and habitats found within Georgia’s geographic regions. Construct an explanation of how external features and adaptations (camouflage, hibernation, migration, mimicry) of animals allow them to survive in their habitat. Use evidence to construct an explanation of why some organisms can thrive in one habitat and not in another.
