As we continue to push through our NWEA testing, I just want you to be aware that I will not be teaching anything new until all students are together. We are still practicing skills that we learned as they will be applied to our new unit 3.
4th grade will be starting long division. 3rd grade will be starting data and graphing.
We continue to work on our animal research project. We are working on the writing in class. If a student does not complete their work in writing, it will be homework. I am always reminding them, if they are talking they are not writing or researching. We are putting all of our writing into an online tool, Discovery Education. We are working on this in school. I am sure they would love to show you at home! The home portion is making the 3-D part at home. Each child received a paper copy with directions, and it is in their schoology as well.
Our test on the Northeast Region will be on Thursday. There is a study packet in their schoology.
I sent home the parent access codes for schoology. Please log in. I think you will like the connection to your child's learning.

We will spend a week completing our NWEA test in math and in reading. Any students that are absent will have the opportunity for a make up test.
Math:
3rd Grade:We are in unit 3 which focuses on measurement and data. Students will be expected to problem solve with capacity, mass, and length. We will also do hands on activities to help them better understand these units of measure.
4th Grade: We will begin long division. This unit will have a few different ways that we will learn the skill. I understand that this will be new not only to the students, but the parents as well. Please encourage your child to try the method that we are working on instead of moving them to "the way that we learned". We will get there... I promise! If your child is having difficulty they can log onto schoology and watch a video and then try again. Please don't have them give up right away. If they are still having difficulty, please send a note in to me. Thank you!
Field trip to The Underground Railroad permission will be sent home on Friday, January 19th.
*Library is on Tuesday, books are due on Tuesday!
*NWEA testing begins this month!
*Every student is expected to read 20 minutes EVERY day!!! Readers are LEADERS!
