A PEEK AT OUR WEEK
In reading we will be working on reading skills of context clues, cause effect, and main idea. We will be using mentor texts to support the skills and incorporating writing about our reading with these skills. We will continue to do reading stations which include iStation, independent reading, and conferencing.
In writing, learners will begin their narrative writing unit. We will go through the writing process of brainstorming, drafting, editing, revising, and publishing. We will also be learning about the difference in editing and revising.
In math this week, our learners will be digging deeper into word-problem solving. They will be mastering the steps to solve complex word problems and will be applying their knowledge in a variety of ways.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS
Homework:
- In lieu of weekly math homework that is assigned on Mondays and returned on Fridays we are sending home your child’s math workbooks for Third Grade. Each week we will update the Third grade blog with optional workbook pages that align with our weekly skill to serve as practice for your child. They may bring these pages back each week, and can receive a small incentive (a sticker, warm fuzzy, etc.), but it is not a requirement. There will still be many unused pages so you are free to work through your child’s workbook as you see fit. Your child is still expected as a Town Center Texan to do Reflex Math three times a week for fifteen minutes. We hope that this will allow for freedom for your child to spend their evenings creating, spending time outside, eating dinner as a family, and reading together while also allowing a resource for math support at home as you feel best fit for your child. Workbook pages for this week are pages 157-161 or Unit 5.4.
- Reflex Math: Reflex Math accounts are back up and running. Students have a week (Friday-Friday) to work through their Reflex Math three times a week, for 15 minutes at a time.
- Spelling Choice Board: The spelling choice board will now be due on the Thursday before the spelling test. The next choice board is due Thursday, 10/27 and our spelling test will be Friday, 10/28. We want learners to use the night before the test to study, rather than finish the choice board and possibly cramming the night before the test.
Cafeteria expectations:
It is a school-wide expectation that when the lights are off, our voices are off. Please help us with following these when you are eating with your child in the cafeteria.
Background Check:
Please take a minute to fill out a background check. It only takes a few minutes and the link is below. You will need to have completed a background check to volunteer at school and attend special events and field trips. You must complete a new background check each school year. http://www.coppellisd.com/Page/22
