Homework: Weekly homework is due by Thursday morning 10/27
Reading: Spend at least 20 minutes reading (outside of school) every day.
When you finish a book, log onto your google classroom account and complete a reading log response.
Math homework: Students should log on to either Dream Box or Khan Academy (see below) and complete 30 minutes (minimum) of math practice.
I have worksheets for those who prefer a paper assignment, students just need to ask in class. If your home computer does not support Dream Box, or your kiddo prefers to use Khan Academy for math homework, create an account and add me as a coach by following these steps:
- Log in (or sign up) at khanacademy.org
- Visit khanacademy.org/coaches (the “Coaches” tab in your profile).
- In the “Add a coach” field, enter our class code: VQZX2Z
- Multi-digit addition with carrying & subtraction with borrowing
- Multiplication Facts 2-11
Current 3rd grade math topics:
- Telling Time to the nearest minute
- Multi-digit Addition and Subtraction
Typing Homework: This year, Level 2 students will have typing homework to develop and support important keyboarding skills.
Please practice at least 20 minutes per week on: Typing.com
Account usernames and passwords were given out during Family Visits. Contact Ginny if you have trouble logging into the typing account.
What's Happening in the Puffin Nest?
Out & Abouts
This week, we met with the Tualatin Riverkeepers to learn about how litter impacts our local waterway. We worked together to clean up trash and analyze our findings to think about how we could solve the problem.
Library Visits
We are looking forward to our first visit to the Forest Grove Library on Oct. 24th.
Students will learn about the organization of the library and will have the opportunity to read and check out books. If you haven't already, please consider getting your Puffin a library card. To do this, please visit the library (you must register in person).
We will visit the library approximately every three weeks and I will post visits dates in the "upcoming events" schedule at the top of the newsletter. The library requires us to have 2-3 additional chaperones to supervise students. Please join us if you can!
