Math

 

This week, we will continue Module 2- place value and problem solving with units of measure. We will be completing lessons 12-16. Our lessons this week focus on rounding 2 and 3 digit numbers to the nearest 10, rounding to the nearest 100, and adding measurements using the standard algorithm (composing once and twice).

 

Need help with homework? Search "Eureka Math, third grade, module 1 lesson ___" on YouTube :) Each day in class, we will be completing a portion (or all) of the problem set. Students are responsible for completing the corresponding homework pages for our daily lesson on Monday through Thursday each week. Please make sure your child is putting their workbook right back in their backpack after completing their homework. You will find all homework assignments written in their planner and on our class webpage.

 

 
Reading

Our focus skills this quarter are:

 

(RI 3.1) I can ask and answer questions about an informational text. 

(RI 3.2) Determine the main idea of a text; recount the key details and explain how they support the main idea. 

(RI 3.5) I can use text features to locate information on a topic. 

(RI 3.6) I can tell the difference between my point of view and the author’s point of view in informational text. 

(L 3.2) I can demonstrate command of the conventions of Standard English capitalization, punctuation, and spelling when writing. 

 

This week, we will be working with the above standards using texts titled "Trapped in Tar" and "Mighty Megalodon." Students will complete their quarter 1 informational outcome assessment on Friday. This assessment will focus heavily on nonfiction text features and the POV response below.
