Students celebrated World Read Aloud Day last Wednesday! They enjoyed several read alouds from "famous" Beacons by way of technology.
Our third grade classroom is filled with readers! Students enjoy reading to each other during rounds of Daily 5. Read aloud improves fluency and confidence.
Hi, families! I hope you all had a great weekend!
Looking ahead: In math, students will wrap up a unit on fractions. Check out our Family Letter with this link: Fraction Unit Family Letter. Please remind your child to practice his/her multiplication facts daily! Students will continue their mixed multiplication quizzes throughout the remainder of the school year. They will also retake any multiplication quizzes necessary to obtain their trail mix ingredients for our trail mix celebration in the spring. As historians, students will learn about the time after the Civil War (Reconstruction). They will also enjoy a visit from Historic Columbia's Traveling Trunk Show (a "Being HERE Experience"). In writing, students will continue learning cursive handwriting. They will finish publishing their poetry anthology, as well as, learning spelling patterns and commonly misspelled words. As readers, they will revisit using context clues to figure out the meaning of a word.
A note from fourth grade: 4th grade has begun our Grade Level Charity, Donate a Toothbrush. This organization, based out of New Jersey, was started by two teenage sisters to provide new toothbrushes to those in need. Last year we collected 670 brushes and have set our new goal at 1,000. Thank you all for your support.
