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.

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.

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.
Our nonfiction POV response is very similar to what was introduced during literature.
- The author's POV is ___________. I know because in the text it says____________.
-My POV is the same as/different than the author's POV. In the text it says ______________. I think/I feel _________________.
This week's mystery is, "How can a lizard's toes help it survive?"

We will continue our creative writing unit! This week, students will work to "show not tell" while writing. We will also review dialogue and how to incorporate meaningful dialogue into our writing.

Our base of the week is sign which means "to mark"
