    Curriculum News
     Language Arts: This week we will launch into a special language arts unit based on The Hundred Dresses,
    the Newberry Honor book by Eleanor Estes. It is a heartfelt story that teaches the timeless message of
    compassion and understanding and addresses the consequences of bullying. We will explore the text as
    we focus on making inferences, character traits, note taking, comprehension connections and theme. In
    addition, this week we will introduce the students to what will be their weekly language arts homework
    although we will be completing it in class as practice this first week. In lieu of that regular homework
    format, we will send home a special reading comprehension/language arts sheet for this first week’s
    official homework; it is due this Thursday, 9/12. We do send home a different formatted language arts
    homework packet periodically. Starting next week the two-sided Word Work homework “packet” will be
    enclosed the first day of the school week and due Thursday. In Writer’s Workshop we are continuing to
    reinforce the structure of a paragraph. We will also introduce different descriptive writing exercises
    including: working with strong verbs (vs. weak ones) and show-vs.-tell which are mini lessons to support
    our first writing genre: narrative. We are continuing with our cursive instruction as we continue to learn
    how to write lower case letters.
     Math: This week we will continue working on Lessons 6 & 7 where we will focus on multiplication
    strategies as it relates to division. Students will be tested on lessons 1-6 on Wednesday. No math
    homework on Wednesday night. A study guide/review will be sent home Tuesday as homework to
    prepare students for the test on Wednesday. IMPORTANT: Your child is to take his/her math
    homework workbook TO AND FROM SCHOOL AND HOME each night from Monday through
    Thursday. DO NOT TEAR OUT ANY PAGES. This is a different management system than what was
    done in 2nd grade. We grade the homework each morning from the evening before. Thank you!
     Science: We will introduce physical science with lessons about Matter.

    HOME-READING BOOKS COME HOME NEXT MONDAY!!! Please read:


    Next Monday, 9/16, you will find a just-right reading book in a plastic Ziploc bag with your child’s name on it. Next week you will receive
    your child’s green Reading Log (also referred to as the “Daily 20” but we realize and hope that some children are exceeding that daily 20
    minutes of reading). Please read the letter attached to the inside of the reading log when you receive it; we will also review it next
    Wednesday evening at our Back-to-School Night. Please keep the letter attached to the inside of the log. Also, please read the letter
    enclosed with your child’s book bag. This letter focuses on the care and management of the book. If your child prefers to do more
    reading on the weekends, please have your student indicate the book title, pages, minutes and the correct date(s) in the log.

    Our goal is for your child to grow into an independent, life-long reader. Reading is the number one academic activity that has the
    potential to have the most profound and positive impact on your child’s future. The research consistently supports that independent
    readers who read an hour or more a day go on to be significantly more successful in school, college, careers, and life. Our 3rd grade
    homework requirement is that your child read at least four times a week for 20-25 minutes a night. The more reading the better! 
