This week, we will begin our math lessons with module 2. This is important to note as the modules have been flipped around. Our math lessons this week will focus on telling time to the nearest minute and solving word problems related to elapsed time. We will end the week focusing on the relationship between kilograms and grams!

 

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.

In reading this week, students will be reading the text "The Best Part of Me". Students will then be learning about two important strategies that we will be utilizing frequently in third grade to support our reading: close reading and response to reading. Students will learn to utilize our close reading protocol to better understand challenging texts. Students will also learn to respond to reading in their journals with strong writing that allows them to reflect on their reading and connect to the text.
