Happy Friday! We are pleased to announce that our class has earned a total of 1,323 dojo points all year! We finally got a chance to watch our movie which was our reward from a few weeks ago. We also earned an extra PE class and got to name the gecko. His name is officially now, Spots. Our next reward comes at 1,500 points!
This week was exciting here in third grade as we started multiplication! We have been talking about equal groups of things, repeated addition, arrays and multiplication number sentences. We’ve talked about the relationship they all share as well. There will be a math game in this week’s homework related to this!
We had a nice visit from one of Dedham’s firefighters. He talked to us about making an escape plan with our family and testing fire alarms. Please do this!
Your children are still working hard on their narrative writing stories. This week we talked a lot about similes. They worked really hard to put similes into their stories!
Next week we will be gaining a student teacher. Her name is Sierra Bloom - she just spent the last 8 weeks in 1st grade with Mrs. Nickerson and was phenomenal from what I hear! I’m very excited to have her join us for the next 8 weeks.
Wednesday is Halloween. We are not having a party, but I do have a fun day planned and will be having a small treat for the kids. We will be doing Halloween/fall activities throughout the day, to have a little fun!
I hope that you have a wonderful weekend! Looks like it might be a cold and rainy one. ~Mrs. Haulk
