Snapshot for October 7



Thank you to everyone who signed up and donated to the PTA Fun Run!  It’s not too late to set up an account and to donate.  We will continue to take donations up until Friday, October 11.  There are 2 new incentives. The next two pass incentives will be “Popsicles on the Playground” and “Silly String War.”  The actual redemption date for these passes will be AFTER we finish gathering all donations.  We will keep you posted once the official date has been set.  Here’s the link for registration.

In class this week, we will complete our reading of the novel study over Back to School, Mallory by Laurie Friedman.  We will continue our study of informational texts.  We will focus on text structure and main/central idea.  Both of these skills can be very tricky and challenging for our 3rd graders.  To help them, I added 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 complete our study verb tenses in grammar this week and will then move on to studying commas usage when listing in a series.   We will also write a persuasive writing told through the eyes of a pumpkin trying to convince the reader not to select him.

For homework, we will have spelling homework and a quiz over the “Words with /j/, /k/, and /kw/” list on Friday, October 11. We will also have an upcoming reading log assignment.  Our next reading log assignment is due on Friday, October 11 for 100 minutes.  

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