Tonight's homework:
- Read 20-30 minutes
- Word Study: Menu Item with homophones
- Math: Where's Wilber? worksheet (front/back)
We will have our Animal Adaptations & Food Chains Test on Friday! Please review the vocabulary words prior to the test.
In Math we are working on rounding numbers to the nearest 10, 100, and 1,000.
Students, don't forget to share your owl pellet experience with your parents!

Homework
Welcome back! I hope everyone had a fun and relaxing Columbus Day weekend.
Tonight's homework:
- Read 20-30 min.
- Word Study (like a Monday): Cut, Sort & Copy down in your journal.
*This week we are studying homophones (words that sound the same but are spelled differently), students just match the homophones together for their sort. It would be helpful to go over the meanings of each spelling to check for understanding.
- Science: Look over the Life Systems Science Test Study Guide & complete the review sheet (front/back). The test will take place on Friday, October 15th.
Good luck!

Homework
Tonight's homework:
- Read 20-30 min.
- Word Study: Menu Item
- Science: Make 2 Food Chains
*Blue paper should have an Aquatic (Water) Food Chain
*Green paper should have a Terrestrial (Land) Food Chain
- NO MATH HOMEWORK: There will be a quiz on Friday on place value (up to hundred thousands) and comparing numbers (>, <, =).
With the Food Chain homework:
Be creative! Use color! We've discussed and created lots and lots of food chains in class. It's time to make one on your own. Remember that the sun is the source of all food chains on earth, followed by a producer, and so on.
For a model (notice the arrows showing the direction of the energy) and more food chain practice, you can go here: Food Chain Game
Have a great night!

Scan of HW
Here's a copy of our homework (I realize it's probably too late, I'll get better at this).
In class, we spent time really working on conceptualizing rounding (building number line mountains). Tonight's homework may have taken a while if you did that for every problem. Tomorrow in class we'll talk about a faster strategy for rounding (mentioned in the "brain box").

It's always interesting to see which 3rd graders take the time to read the directions fully. This particular worksheet asks students to circle/box their answers depending on whether they rounded up/down.

Homework
Hello!
Tonight's Homework:
- Read 20-30 minutes with a good book
- Word Study: Choose a menu item to do using your words
- Math: Complete the rounding numbers worksheet (I'll upload an image of it when I get home)
Please note, there will be a Math Quiz this Friday (10/8) on:
- place value (identifying up to the hundred thousands, building the biggest/smallest #)
- standard/written/expanded form for numbers (e.g., "237"/"two hundred thirty-seven"/"200 + 30 + 7")
- comparing numbers (greater than/less than/equal to)
Today 1st quarter interims went home in backpacks. Parents, please take a look and return the form with your signature so that I know you've seen it. If you have any questions or concerns, I am at your convenience. You can reach me via e-mail, phone or backpack note.
Have a great day!

Testing, testing...does the scanner work?
Just trying to see if I can post tonight's homework...

Homework + Leaf T-Shirts
Hello again!
Today we decorated and (almost) bleached our Fall Leaf T-Shirts. Many thanks to the parents who showed up to help make things work! Unfortunately for everyone, I messed up and brought in "chlorine-free" bleach which does not do the trick! Lesson learned, and with our newfound experience we'll finish up the T-Shirt project later this week. There were some very cool designs and I'm excited to see what the finished product will look like!
Tonight's homework:
- Read 20-30 minutes with a good book
- Word Study: cut out your words, sort them at home & copy your sort down in your WS journal
- Math: complete the "greater than/less than" exit slip (3.3a & 3.3b)
Thanks for reading!
