Big picture

Fall Conferences
Don't forget to sign up for a fall conference time using the sign up link that your learner's homeroom teacher sent out.

Raz Kids
The district has now added RAZ KIDS accounts for all elementary students in the district. With this being said, it means the old accounts we had set up just for TCE will be expiring, and new usernames and passwords will be given to students. We just wanted parents and students to be aware in case you are unable to log in this weekend for those of you who still utilize this program. New student usernames and passwords will be passed out next week. 

What are we learning?

Math
In math, learners will start time as part of the Numeracy to 100,000 unit. In third grade, learners are expected to tell time to the minute,  as well as calculate elapsed time. We will continue practicing addition, subtraction, and money skills in small groups and in our morning work.


Language Arts
In reading, learners will begin figurative language. We will focus specifically on Similes and Metaphors. We will discuss the impact that figurative language has on the texts and passages that we read.

In writing, we will continue to work on the conventions of writing. We will focus specifically on grammar and punctuation in writing.


Science
In science, learners will finish their career connection trade card for our Properties of Matter unit. Our career connection for this unit is Chemists. Towards the end of the week, we will begin our new unit of Force, Motion, and Energy. 

Social Studies
In social studies, learners will begin looking at historical documents. We will identify their purpose and dig into how they have shaped our nation.
