April 13th-17th-Week 4 of Learning

3rd Grade Learning-Week 4

Dear 3rd Grade Families,

Hope everyone enjoyed their Spring Break! We wanted to let you know that some changes will be coming this week concerning our learning. Now that we are no longer able to return to school, our hope is that our 3rd graders are as prepared as possible for 4th grade. While we are saddened to hear this news, and are not able to teach in the traditional way, please know that we will do everything in our power to provide learning opportunities and support you all in whatever way possible. 


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.

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!
Choose reading books through EPIC: Knuth zts0297, Yoder xvu5789 , Covert chz7012
