Week7

What’s going on the week of October 6^th-10^th???????????

MATH

Next week the 3^rd graders will be learning about addition with more than two addend, missing addends, regrouping, and estimating. Next week in 4^th grade math, Mr. Wilhelm will be teaching addition and subtraction concepts, expression and variables.

READING

In reading we are reading the book There’s an OWL in the Shower. As a class we are reading the book and then having a discussion about what we read. This gives the students the opportunity to ask questions about the reading. After the book we will do a report on an owl of the students’ choice. We will have two UW art students coming in to teach us an art lesson on Owls and an art lesson on history.

Word of the Week for Oct. 6^th – 10^th

We have Word of the Week in our class. The word changes every week. This gives the students a chance to add to their vocabulary.

blunder: (n.) a silly or careless mistake

If you happen to make a blunder we will forgive you.

SPELLING

On Fridays I will send home a copy of the spelling words the students will be studying for the following week. We will do spelling activities throughout the week and a spelling test will be given on Thursday and Fridays.
