Just a reminder: be sure to join us for our PTO meeting Monday, January 29! Third grade will be performing songs about South Carolina. If your child is joining us, please be sure to drop him/her off at the music room no later than 6:45, wearing blue bottoms and a white shirt. They may bring a pair of sunglasses, too!
Students enjoyed mining for rocks and minerals with Diamond Del! It was a great end to our "Don't Take It for Granite" unit!
Hi, families! I hope you all had a great week and you're enjoying the warmer weather!
Report Cards: As always, the end of the nine weeks is a great time to reflect on your child's progress, both academically and behaviorally. Please be sure to set high expectations and goals with your child for the third nine weeks. Although third grade can be a difficult transition year, we expect students to develop strong study habits, increase rigor, and become more independent, as we try our best to prepare them for the upper grades. Encourage your child to find a quiet place to complete study guides and homework in a timely manner, practice multiplication facts daily, read a good book, and discuss what he/she has learned with you each day. You may keep your child's report card and comments, but please sign and return the report card sleeve!
On Friday, February 2, 2018 we will observe the 100th day of school. We are so thankful for an abundance of parental involvement and community partnerships, so on this day we are hoping to get 100 “BookMEN” to visit Bookman Road to be involved in some way. BookMEN can be any influential male figures in the lives of our Bookman Road students. Your visit may include eating lunch with your student, joining your student during recess, or simply dropping off or picking up your child from school.
Thank you so much for continuing to help us make Bookman Road a great place to be and we look forward to seeing you February 2nd!
Math fluency quizzes: Due to copy numbers decreasing, students will no longer get a copy of their math fluency quizzes (For example: 11s multiplication quiz, mixed multiplication/division quizzes, mixed addition/subtraction quizzes). This is one way we are able to save copies. Students take these quizzes online. They are automatically graded. You will see their grades in Powerschool. Please continue to ask your child how math fluency is going at school and keep practicing those facts!
A message from kindergarten:
Looking ahead to next week: As historians, students will continue studying the American Revolution. They will learn about patriots, loyalists, battles fought in South Carolina, as well as, famous Revolutionary heroes. As mathematicians, they will finish studying the first half of their fraction unit and then dive into the second half of our module. They will learn how to place fractions on a number line. We will be using the Engage New York curriculum for this unit, so please see the family letter below. As readers, students will learn about their new reading response log, which will soon become a part of their homework packet. In language arts, they will continue learning about prefixes, suffixes, and begin a new study of prepositional phrases. They will also continue working on writing a text-dependent analysis.
Thank you again for all of your support! Have a great weekend!
