Week 3

I can hardly believe we're already reached the third week of school. A few reminders are in order. Please don't forget to read for 2 hours each week and turn in the completed reading log each Friday. Also, remember to study your multiplication facts for at least 4 sessions of 10 minutes (or more) each and complete the practice log. I do take grades on multiplication timed tests since my students were expected (by the state of Ohio) to master the multiplication facts in THIRD grade.

In spelling this week, we will write the words in cursive on Tuesday, use them in complete sentences (interrogative, imperative, declarative, and exclamatory) on Wednesday, edit on Thursday, and take an editing test on Friday.

In this week's math, we will continue expressing numbers in various forms: standard 12, 435; expanded 10,000 + 2,000 + 400 + 30 + 5; and word twelve thousand four hundred thirty-five. Short word is a combination of standard + word: 12 thousand 4 hundred 35. Students are also expected to understand the place value of any given number up to the millions place.
We are not working on decimals yet, but that is in the not so distant future!

Our reading this week will focus on the text selection The Horned Toad Prince. Students should also have chosen their realistic fiction book for the Sept. 19 literature project and have an AR book for our daily silent reading. We will also continue to work on reading fluency Monday-Thursday with our Six Minute Solutions.

The language focus for the week will continue to be the four types of sentences.
