Solar System Research
This week we began our solar system research projects. Your child is working with a group of three students to research one of the planets in our solar system. We are also learning about them during guided reading as well. We will be participating in several culminating activities based upon our research. Stay tuned!
October Writing Words Test
Tuesday
we will be having a test over all of the writing words for this month.
Remember, once we have taken the test for the words, students are held
responsible for spelling them correctly on all assignments. One point will be
deducted on graded assignments and tests for having a misspelled writing word.

Math Enrichment
In your child's Friday Folder is the Unit Two math enrichment activities. There is a letter attached explaining the activities. We are now on Unit Three and using different activities in the classroom, so I am sending them home in case you would like to work on them at home with your child. Some of them are quite challenging, so this is OPTIONAL. Some parents have asked for more complex activities to do at home and here are some great activities that you can do that are correlated to our math program. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Unit Three Math- Measurement
This week we have been focusing on measurement in math class. Your child has been learning about how to measure to the nearest fourth of an inch. They have also been working on measuring to the nearest half a centimeter and to the nearest millimeter. In one activity we did this week, the students estimated different objects in the classroom to the nearest inch and nearest centimeter. In addition, we started learning about perimeter and area.
Science- The Sun
We have been learning about the Sun and why it is so important to our Earth. We have been observing the sun and observing the shadows it makes throughout the day. The students had a great time today creating their own models to help explain why we have daytime and nighttime. We will start learning about the moon next week.

Writing Words for October
Our “Writing Words” program is designed to focus on high frequency writing words that are often misspelled in writing. By the end of the school year, there are 80 common words that the third graders are expected to spell correctly in their writing.
At the beginning of each month, your child will receive a list of that month’s “Writing Words.” These words will be posted on the wall in the classroom, and the children are expected to learn how to spell these words correctly by the end of the month. We will do some practice here at school, but they will also need to study these words at home. Each month, there may be some homonyms on the list like there, their, and they’re. In addition to knowing how to spell these words, they will be expected to know when to use the appropriate one. At the end of the month, they will take a test on these words. Once they have been tested on these words, they will be held accountable for spelling them correctly in their writing for the rest of the school year.
