We finished up our math unit about the relationship between Division and Multiplication and had our unit test on Friday. Judging from the scores it looks like everyone did some nice studying. We have also been working on research on the classroom so that we are able to transfer this information to our Google slideshow. The children did their title slide last week and we will continue to work on this in class this week.
This week we will start multiplication and division patterns. We are going to be working on practicing our multiplication facts in class with our Kick It! materials. Each student has been assigned a partner that they practice the facts for the belt they are working on with. Each students gets an opportunity to be the practicing partner and the checking partner. After practicing their facts we move on to a timed test. Once a student masters a fact at the current level they are working on they move on to a different level. For every four levels the student completes they move to a different belt level. Currently all students are White Belts and need to master levels A, B, C and D before moving on to their yellow belt.
This week and next week are four day weeks so the third grade teachers have decided to extend this language arts unit for two weeks. Below is a list of the dates that activities are due and when certain activities will be occurring in the classroom:
- October 14-Spelling packet will go home.
- October 21-Spelling packet due.
- October 21-Vocabulary test.
- October 22-Reading test.
I hope to see everyone at Open House on Thursday, October 15. Don't forget you will also have the opportunity to shop at the book fair.
