I will be calling this week to talk to each of you about your child's progress this first quarter. You can go into Skyward to check your child's individual grades and I will be sending home supplemental paperwork that I would have given each of you at the conference. You will receive a work habits report which will tell you how your child behaves and stays on task during class time. You will also find their current reading level and how it compares to a typical third grader. I will also be send home each student's baseline MAP assessment scores. As a staff we are still learning how we will use the information to guide our instruction in the classroom. We will be using these assessments to show growth in each student. If you prefer a face to face conference, please email me at [email protected] so we can set up a time during my plan time or after school.
This week we will be learning about the elements of plot in the literature that we read. In math, we will finish up chapter 3 on subtraction, test on Wednesday, and then have our follow up WIN groups for reteaching and enriching toward the end of the week. The class will then begin multiplication the following week.
We would like to welcome two new students to our classroom on Monday. I am excited about getting to know them and having them become part of our classroom family.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and I look forward to speaking with all of you this week.
