I hope you all had a great weekend, despite the crummy weather! During our class meeting on Monday mornings, students share their most memorable event from the weekend. It sounds like many of you had lots of fun!
Curriculum Update
Readers' Workshop: We finished up what makes strong readers in third grade and are ready to begin a unit focusing on analyzing characters. We also did some partner reading while looking for the theme of the story.
Writers' Workshop: We continue to work on drafting our personal narratives by learning how to "show, not tell" about feelings in a story and to write as if there is a movie happening on the paper.
Math Workshop: We completed Unit 1 and took the first BA. Unit 2 began covering number stories and the importance of analyzing a problem before attempting to solve it. We have been learning and practicing strategies for multiplying by 2's, 5's, and 10's.
Science: We read about our amazing little crayfish and observed the closely to see body structures. We learned about the functions of the structures and how they help the animal survive in it's environment.
A Note about Math: Last week, I sent home a family letter and homelinks for Unit 2. This is for your information only. It is a window for you to look ahead and see what we are covering in class. If your child needs or would like extra practice, the homelinks are there for you. ConnedEd is another resource to use if your child would like extra math practice. 
Pink Out!! This Thursday is Commerce Pink Out day! Everyone is encouraged to wear pink on this day to show support for breast cancer research. Every student that brings in $1.00 on Thursday will be given a special pink ribbon sticker. Have a wonderful week!
