Dear Parents,
What a fun week this will be with Red Ribbon Week here! We also have a Clutch program scheduled on Thursday and a dictionary give away in the library on Friday. :)
In Math this week, we will be approaching some new subject matter. In 1st grade, your student was required to master time to the hour and half hour, in 2nd grade it was time to the quarter and five minute increments, in 3rd grade it's the whole shebang! They will be mastering telling time on an analog clock to the minute in 3rd grade. Then we will shift over to reading thermometers in the Fahrenheit and Celsius scale. The most important thing we try to focus on when reading a thermometer is what kind of scale the thermometer has. Does it count by 2's, 5's, 10's, etc..??? We will continue to review 3 digit subtraction over medial and two zeros.
The fast facts this week will be BOTH addition and subtraction in 1 minute. This week's test will be inputted into the grade book so STUDY, STUDY, STUDY!!!
In Science this week, we will begin our new unit of study. Students will begin studying the concept of Energy. We will review four forms of energy: sound, light, heat, and mechanical.
I will be out traveling on Monday. I hope the kids enjoy Mrs. Carrie Allen, a former HCE retired teacher as their substitute. :)
Love,
Mrs. S
