This Week In 3Y!!

We had a lot of fun this week!

We continued working on reading and writing big numbers!  We have been writing and reading numbers in the millions!  We worked on identifying the sequence of events and picking out what is important in the text as well!  We also practiced this today while watching our Thanksgiving film Mouse on the Mayflower!  We had to write the sequence of events of the film!

We are about finished with our Public Service Announcements for science!  Here is a link to the ones we have uploaded thus far!

We have also been practicing our play "The Year Santa Got Mixed-up!".  We will be performing this on December 22nd for our families at 2:00!  Mark your calendars!

Students will also be bringing home Friday Folders today and a special decoration they made for your family feasts!

Have a wonderful holiday break and I will see everyone next Tuesday!

Another Great Week!

It has been another great week in 3Y!  We took our Unit 4 math test and increased our class average by 82% from the pretest!!  (12% to 94%!!!!)  WOW!!!  What a brilliant group of kids!

We have now moved on to Unit 5 in math and will be focusing on the following learning targets:
1.  I can read and write very large numbers.
2.  I can read and write decimals.
3.  I can use base 10 blocks to work with decimals.
4.  I can add and subtract 2-digit numbers.
5.  I can use ballpark estimates.
6.  I can add and subtract extended facts.

We chant these in math each morning so that we can practice saying that "I can!"

We also finished up Unit 2 in reading and have started Unit 3, our learning targets for reading are going to be:
1. I can follow agreed upon rules for class discussions.
2.  I can determine text importance.
3.  I can identify the sequence of events in a text.

In science we are still working on creating our public service announcements.  We have planned and are starting to shoot our videos!

I am so proud of the progress 3Y is making!  Thank you for all the support at home!

Have a great weekend!
