Thank you to everyone who signed up and donated to the PTA Fun Run!  It’s not too late to set up an account.  Please see the linked flyer for more information.

In class this week, we will continue reading our novel study over Back to School, Mallory by Laurie Friedman.  We will also start our study of informational texts.  We will focus on text structure and main idea.  Both of these skills can be very tricky and challenging for our 3^rd graders.  To help them, I will be adding new BoomCards and Padlet activities focused on these skill areas. Please see the bottom of the snapshot for information on how to access BoomCards and Padlet.

In writing, we will wrap up our personal narrative unit.  We are writing short stories about one moment from our lives.  We study verb tenses in grammar this week.  There will be a graded assignment of common and proper nouns on Thursday, October 3.    

For homework, we will have spelling homework and a quiz over the “Three Letter Blends” list on Friday, October 4. We will also have an upcoming reading log assignment.  To cut down on the number of due dates, our next reading log assignment will not be due until Friday, October 4.  Moving forward all reading logs and spelling assignments will both be due on Fridays. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
