Parents,
In Math:
We will continue fine tuning our 3-digit addition and subtraction skills with regrouping. Students will be introduced to 3 digit subtraction with a medial zero, as well as 3 digit subtraction with two zeros. This is a hard skill to really master parents! Our little 3rd graders want to regroup when they don't have to and not regroup when they are supposed to! Any help on three digit subtraction or extra practice at home is always appreciated. Students will continue working on addition and subtraction word problems and trying to decipher if they are combining, take away subtraction, comparative subtraction, or missing part subtraction.
Our Fast Fact Friday Quiz will consist of subtraction problems only and will not be taken for a grade this week. Students should be studying facts every night for at least 5 – 8 minutes. Please see the blog page labeled Helpful Websites to find fun and interactive websites that help your children learn their Math Facts.
In Science:
What a busy week we will have in Science next week! A study guide and study flashcards were sent home last Monday to get your child prepared for the Matter Test . Their Matter test will be this coming Monday the 7th. Please take a couple minutes to help your child review all concepts encompassing Matter. We are moving on to reading thermometers in Celsius and Fahrenheit, as well as making mixtures and figuring out the best tools to separate them with.
Love, Mrs. S
