Week 5


~Learning and Growing Together~

Mrs. Hahn’s Class

This week we have spent a great deal of time reading, learning about feeling words, and how a character’s feelings affect the events that happen in a story.  Your children are also very close to writing their first personal narrative of the year.  A few of them have already started on their rough drafts.  We will work to take their piece of writing through the entire writing process.  In Math class, we have been learning how to estimate sums and differences to the nearest ten. 
Entertainment Book sales end at the beginning of next week, so please return your requests for the books.  The sale of these books will greatly benefit the school.

~Next Week~

          Next week we will finish our study of energy in Science with an emphasis on wind energy.  We will also finish our study of stories that are worth telling again and again.  The class will do a week long poetry project to learn the elements of poetry.  We will be discussing in great depth the concept of money in Math.
         Please encourage your child to study their spelling words each week, read at home, and work on their math facts.  I am seeing big improvements on their math facts at school.  Big things are happening in third grade!  Ask your child about singing on the announcements this morning!

Tip of the Week:  
Crack open the dictionary          
Let your child see you use a dictionary. Say, "Hmm, I'm not sure what that word means... I think I'll look it up."
