Mrs Riddick's Rock Stars!

Wednesday marks the beginning of the 2nd grading period and my Rock Stars are ready to Roll!  I discussed with students that we now have a better understanding of the expectations and routines of 3rd grade and we should now concentrate on remaining engaged during lessons and giving our best effort as independent learners.  

Renovations are 99% complete and we have made the move back to room 503!  It is beautiful and the kids will be so amazed!  Please remind kids to COME TO ROOM 503 ON WEDNESDAY MORNING.

                 


I have posted IXL logs for Math-ADDITION/SUBTRACTOION to THREE DIGITS and Language Arts-SEQUENCING for this week under the Files and Documents Tab. Students need to be sure they are working in the right subject and module.  Be sure to check the tab at the top of the IXL page to choose your subject. 

If students work at home please print out a log and initial their progress. Students do not have to finish a whole log before turning in.  I will initial and return log and  issue a SOAR ticket for each module completed not one per page.  (most pages have 2-4 modules each) These are great ways to practice the concepts we are learning in class and I strongly encourage kids to find some time to sign in. 

< I WILL NO LONGER BE SENDING HOME IXL LOGS FOR MATH OR LANGUAGE ARTS> In an effort to save trees and the school's money ALL IXL logs can be accessed from this web page.  Just click files and documents to the left click on content area and several resources will be posted that can be utilized at home. 
                                   


Here is a quick run down on the week coming up

Science-     Under construction
                                                                 

                            


Social Studies        



We will begin our unit on Ancient Greece.  We are playing a bit of catch up due to the Halloween Parade and Soar Assembly last week during Social Studies. 

We will explore the physical characteristics of the land and how the Greeks adapted to their environment.  We will also learn about the many contributions to government, architecture, arts and sports the Greeks made to future societies.


Language Arts-

 

This week we will practice sequencing Fiction and Non Fiction texts. We will finish our Narrative writing piece.    I am so proud of what students have accomplished and think you will be impressed with the final products.  They have been working hard to develop their writing voices and I am impressed with what they have developed.           


Math                       

This week we will focus on adding and subtracting three digit numbers with regrouping.  We will also practive subtracting across zeros.
