Math:

3.4D (S) – determine the total number of objects when equally-sized groups of objects are combined or arranged in arrays up to 10 by 10

3.4E (S) – represent multiplication facts by using a variety of approaches such as repeated addition, equal-sized groups, arrays, area models, equal jumps on a number line, and skip counting

3.4F (S) – recall facts to multiply up to 10 by 10 with automaticity and recall the corresponding division facts

3.4G (S) – use strategies and algorithms, including the standard algorithm, to multiply a two-digit number by a one-digit number. Strategies may include mental math, partial products, and the commutative, associative, and distributive properties.

Homework: Study your basic subtraction facts and record on the HW log. I check these logs on Friday! Students earn extra recess on Friday’s if they have done their HW and have had good behavior all week!

We have started working on multiplication in class! Everyone of my students are working hard! I cannot be more proud of them each and every day.

Science:

3.5B – describe and classify samples of matter as a solid, liquids, and gasses. Demonstrate that solids have a definite shape and that liquids and gases take the shape of their container.

3.A – measure, test, and record physical properties of matter, including temperature, mass, magnetism, and the ability to sink or float

Parents,

Today your child will be coming home with the Six Flags Read to Succeed Reading Log.  This is an exciting program Mrs. Rock has registered the students to participate in.  All you and your child need to do is read, read, read and keep track of the amount of time read.  When your child reaches 6 hours, he/she will return the form to me.  At the end of the year, each child who completed the form will receive a Six Flags ticket!!

Our annual Food Drive runs from November 6-10th.  The food contributed will aid the White Oak TAP (Temporary Assistance Program).  Currently this food bank is in need of nonperishable items including meat products, canned fruit, pasta, spaghetti sauce, macaroni & cheese, soup, beans, and rice. They have plenty of vegetable products at this time.

The grade level bringing the most food will win extra recess as well as a visit from Joe Roughneck!!  Please help us stock this food bank as the holidays are fast approaching!!

In regard to student birthdays, we would appreciate your understanding and support of our position. We cannot allow students to bring cookies, candy, etc. and distribute in their classroom. There are several reasons why this cannot be allowed. It becomes a competitive situation, which can get out of hand as well as being a disruption to class instruction. The same rule applies to invitation distribution at school or on school property. Please do not ask the teachers to make exceptions to this rule. Many children can get hurt feelings or the teacher may be out and a substitute fail to pass out the invitations, and we certainly respect your right to invite whom you choose. Please send all invitations through the mail, social media, or by telephone. Our teachers do recognize students’ birthdays, as we certainly understand how important this day is to your child.

Third grade teachers sent a note/permission form home today. On this form, you have the option to include or not include your address on a student information list. Please look for this note in your child’s take home folder and send back to school the next day so that we may compile this list as quickly as possible.
