Read-A-Thon WOW! and 9/19 - 9/23

Our third-grade class had an epic weekend of reading!  As a total amount for the weekend, they read for 1,630 minutes!  We had some kiddos reading upwards of 200 minutes. Wonderful news!

Homework note: Many of you are FABULOUS at this already, but please remember to sign/initial the planners each day and include the number of minutes that your child has read.  Aside from our Read-A-Thon week, each kiddo is to read 15 minutes per day, and the planner must be signed to indicate that the student has done that.

Here's a peak into our week...

Reading: Continue Charlotte's Web, investigate the question "What can traditions teach you about cultures?" through reading The Dream Catcher and Yoon and the Jade Bracelet. The students will use visualizations and sequencing to understand the stories.

Vocabulary: celebrate, pride, courage, remind, disappointment, symbol, precious, tradition

Spelling: short vowel sounds (e, o, u)

Writing: friendly letter

Math: (from last week) rounding to tens and hundreds, estimating sums

The Skyview Homecoming parade is on Friday! Kiddos are welcome and encouraged to wear Sandstone gear, Skyview gear/colors.

Enjoy your week,
Mrs. Urbaniak
