March 30th-Week 3 of Learning

3rd Grade Learning-Week 3

Dear 3rd Grade Families,

As our at-home learning continues, we want to help your child to maintain skills. Our goal is to support you at home and stay connected with you. Please do not hesitate to reach out and let us know what you need. If you are feeling overwhelmed, please reach out so we can help. There are many ways to learn at home and none of them should be stressful for your child or for you. Remember, you and your child probably need some downtime during the day. Having your child curl up to read a good book, work towards the Lexia goal, or do some math practice could be a break that you both need.

More information is sure to come about the remainder of the school year. Our SJPS administrators have done a wonderful job keeping families, community, and staff updated with the Governor's news. As they pass along the information, teachers will also stay in touch with you.

Next week is spring break. We would like everyone to relax and enjoy the week. Take a break from computers and we hope that you and your family can do something fun at home. 


SeeSaw: (Please have your child check SeeSaw daily for messages from teachers)
Each day we will post some fun, open-ended activities that can be completed independently. We can communicate with your child through SeeSaw about the activity. As a parent, you will get notifications through the app when comments or work is posted. While these are optional, they are a good break for you and your child. 

Math:
1. Skill work
IXL Math recommendations, skill work, or Moby Max Math is available to keep up on math skills. 

Reading: 
Continue to work toward our class goal of 1 book per week. Reading Counts is available between the hours of 8am-4pm, Monday through Friday only. Some of you may be reading longer books and that is wonderful! We will post our weekly reports each week, keep up the good work!
