In Language Arts,  we are working on basic writing elements which include  prewriting, composing, evaluating, revising, and editing our writing. Reading award-winning books and writing about them through blogs and discussing them in literature circles is our big focus this month.  We're doing several different types of writing until the end of school.

In Math, we are learning about mathematical computation skills, problem solving, and number relationships. Comparing, ordering, adding and subtracting whole numbers are some of the skills we're practicing this month.  Check out Math Fact Cafe! You can practice math facts with 'virtual' flash cards (Go to Grade 3 for Flashcards), practice problem solving and more! The web-based program can even generate practice sheets.  

 

Teacherease is an online grading program that I am using to help communicate with families about their child's academic progress. If you'd like more information or to sign up, please contact me.
