Mrs. Paon's Wildcat Class

News for week of 10/31

Thanks so much for attending your child's conference.  I enjoyed meeting with all of you!

 

I want to share some new websites with you and will add these to our "Ikeepbookmarks" page as well.

 

A great Health website on nutrition which we looked through last week:

www.choosemyplate.gov

 

Math practice website:

www.IXL.com/signin/mountainview

I will send home a sheet with your child's username and password. 

For practice next week, I would suggest they work on "division word problems" in the 3rd grade section.

  

Skills tutor website:

www.myskillstutor.com

Please wait until 11/1 to access this website at home.  I will have children get started with it and create their "avatar" on Monday, 10/31.

Username: their student id (# they use to log-in computer at school)

Password: cobb

Site: mountain12

I have posted multiplication fact fluency as "new assignment".  This will be another avenue to practice their math facts!  Children must progress through the levels to move on. 

I will add other skill areas later in year.

 

News for this Week (10/18/11)

• Reminder: Science fossil quiz tomorrow.  Wildcats may count rereading Science text for tonight’s 20 min. reading.  Please have your child return their Science textbook tomorrow.
• Please check your child’s agenda each week to see what facts they should be practicing.
• We are working on knowing how to write home addresses correctly.  I have put a sticker inside your child’s green folder that they can refer to as necessary.  We will practice in class, but I would encourage them to practice at home as well.  (Ask your child to tell you the acronym for remembering how to spell Marietta!)  I will put a “smiley face” on the folder sticker when they’ve mastered the task.
• Thanks so much for all the wonderful items you sent in for our first “Gift Gallery”!  We had many happy shoppers!  Thank you, Mrs. Fernandes and Mrs. Gogolin, for running the Gallery.
• Reminder: Next week is conference week and Scholastic Book Fair in the Media Center.  Students will be dismissed 2 hours early each day.
• Reminder: Next week is also “Red Ribbon Week”.  Please refer to the handout sent home yesterday to see the daily activities.
• Please send in the Field Trip forms for our trip to the Wright Environmental Center by Friday, 10/28.

For the next nine weeks we can look forward to:

LA:

We will be focusing on response to literature this nine weeks.  Students will have to form an opinion based on their point of view in response to a reading selection.  They will have to make connections to the literature using details from the reading selection.

We will continue to work in reading groups.

Math:

This nine weeks we will start exploring the relationship between multiplication and division.  Students are expected to know their multiplication facts.  This will expedite the transition to division.  We will also start discussing plane geometric figures and angles. 

We are going to continue working on:  elapsed time to the half-hour, constructing and interpreting graphs, counting back change, and problem solving.

Social Studies with Mrs. Hollar:

We are going to begin our study on historical figures.  This nine weeks the historical figures will be:  Paul Revere, Susan B. Anthony, and Frederick Douglass.

Students will also be expected to identify the Rocky Mountains and Appalachian Mountains on a map.

 

Science:

We will focus on soils found in Georgia and regions in Georgia this nine weeks.  Students will be expected to compare and contrasts different types of soil.  They will also be learning how soils form and change over time.  Students will be able to differentiate between the five regions in Georgia and the organisms that live in each region.
