Stretching Sentences!

You may have noticed, looking at your child's homework last night, that it is difficult for kids to STRETCH their sentences to over 8 words ... which we require in 3rd grade! This anchor chart may help you - help them - create more interesting sentences, which in turn leads to more interesting stories! Thanks for working with them!!!

What We're Up To In ...

MATH: We have been working on 3 digit addition and subtraction within story problems. Please keep watching your kids to see if they are following the right steps! READING: We are working on learning about biographies and their characteristics along with Main Idea. We have also been reading many biographies as well. WRITING: We have done some short writing, lists, paragraphs and such in our writer's notebook. We also have begun reading personal narratives so that soon, we can begin our own. Talk with your child about a good story that has happened in his/her life that he/she could write about! HANDWRITING: We have learned about 5 cursive letters so far. We have also been working on NEAT printing in class. PLEASE EXPECT your child to print neatly at home as well! ART: We have been working on warm and cool colors incorporated into fall trees. WORD STUDY: We are studying the sounds hard and soft "c" and "g" make. Spelling lists can be found under the top tab on our blog! SOCIAL STUDIES: We are learning about immigration. If you have immigration stories about your family, please share them with your child or even our class! SCIENCE: Our kids get science once or twice a week this year with either Mrs. Miller or Mr. Christianson. They are working on characteristics of leaves and other scientific things!
