We've been working hard this week to learn the meaning of economics and we start to dive into Michigan's economics. Here is our definition! The long a can be produced in many ways. We are going to focusing on 3 main spelling patterns of the long “a” this week:
1. “a-consonant-e” as in cake and face 2. “ay” as in hay and play 3. “ai” as in train and brain Practice at home: Try practicing your words at home this week by scrambling all the letters to each word. Then ask an adult or sibling to unscramble the words. Check their work. We are excited to host our 3rd annual Superbowl Party! We invite all dads, grandpas, uncles, and family friends to join our third graders as they enjoy a variety of activities related to the Superbowl!
When? February 5 Time? 2:30-3:30 What do we need? Our class is in charge of water bottles and salty treats (chips and salsa, pretzels, etc) for all of the third graders and our special guests! If you'd like to contribute to these items, please let me know! Moms, you are welcome to join us too! :) While reading Owl Moon, students will be identifying the compound predicates. Remembering that predicates are verbs we will be noticing how some sentences have more than one verb (or predicate). We will also talk about possessive pronouns. Possessive pronouns are pronouns that show ownership. For example: your, his, my, her, theirs are possessive pronouns.
This week the students will be learning the different ways to make the /er/ sound including:
ir as in bird er as in never ar as in farm ur as in turn or as in form Practice at home: Try practicing your words at home this week by setting the timer for 3 minutes. See how many of your words you and write before the timer goes off. Movie Madness Carnival is coming to a school near you on February 20! Many volunteers are needed to make our event a success. All volunteers will be entered in a drawing to receive FREE tickets!

Homophones are two words that sound the same, but are spelled differently and have different meanings. There, they’re, and their; too, two, and to; bee and be are all examples of homophones. We will work on learning the different meaning and spellings of these tricky words this week. Practice at home: Try practicing your words at home this week by using a flashlight. Bring a flashlight into a dark room. Use your flashlight to “write” each spelling word. We will now be shifting gears to subtraction. Just like with addition, we will be learning different strategies we can use to solve 3 digit subtraction problems. Just like with addition, we will be learning many different strategies (ways) to subtract. Students will find one that works best for them and that is one that they should stick with.
