Fun at the Halloween Party

Thank you so much to the room parents for the wonderful Halloween Party!  I hope you enjoy the pictures!

Reminders

10/29  Patriots Day  (wear your team shirts)

10/30  Our party is at 11:30 on Friday.  Students can bring their costumes to school in bag.  They should not bring scary masks or wear make-up.

10/25/15

This week during the assembly each grade performed either a poem or song teaching the school how to show G.R.I.T.  The third graders read an Always/Never Poem.  Ask your child to recite the lines from our poem.  

During math centers this group of kids were playing a math activity called Subtrarion Across Zero.  Maybe you can try playing it at home.  

These children are using a program called Math Playground.  This program helps them solves story problems using bar models.

In this center the kids are very busy trying to solve sudoku puzzles!  They loved this challenge.

We have been writing personal narrative this month.  Our personal narratives should include; dialogue, show not tell, voice, interesting leads, good word choice and they should all be seed stories.  

This is an example of how bar models should look! 

Our Halloween Party is Friday at 11:30!  Kids can bring their costume to school but no scary masks or make up.

Update

This is a reminder that tomorrow will be the Steward School Walk-A-Thon!

Last week in math we worked on adding multi-digit numbers with and without regrouping.  

Ask your child, "What is the value of 12 hundreds."

Trey gave us an amazing explanation of how to regroup.  He used the vocabulary words ones, tens, hundreds, and regrouping with his explanation. 

In reading we have been studying realistic fiction.  They have been learning a lot about characters and their traits.  Last week we discussed the difference between round and flat characters.  

When your child is reading at night ask them to tell you about the characters in their story.  Maybe they can share one trait about the character in their book.
