Number Sense:  If I were to ask you to solve this problem in your head: 499 + 345 how would you do it? My instinct would be to round 499 to 500, add 345, and then subtract 1. This is number sense. We do it all of the time--manipulate and play with numbers. For our 3rd graders, it is a skill that has to be developed through practice. Here is a great article that informs parents on ways they can strengthen their child's number sense.
​

Note from Counselor’s Corner: Our school counselor, Ms. Hamlin, will be coming into classrooms these next few weeks to talk to students about child safety. 
The Objectives of the Child Protection Lessons:
• to develop children’s self-esteem, assertiveness and self protective skills.
• to teach children that they should always tell an adult about any situation which they find unsafe, upsetting, threatening or dangerous
• to give children the skills necessary to enable them to recognise and resist abuse/victimisation/bullying
• to teach the rules
  1. Say No
  2. Get Away and Tell an Adult
  3. Never Keep Touch A Secret

Week 29 - April 9-13

School Maker Faire: "Maker Faire is an all-ages gathering of tech enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, engineers, scientists, authors, artists, students, and community makers. All of these 'makers' come to Maker Faire to show what they have made and to share what they have learned." 

The Maker Faire is returning to ASW on April 24th! If you are interested in participating or volunteering, please visit the link below:

Math Focus: On Tuesday and Thursday the kids are doing math rotations across the grade level. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday we do math rotations just in our classroom with 3D's students. Next week, during the math rotations in our classroom, the students will be working on subtracting with regrouping. We have seen this is a struggle for the majority of our class. Please take a look at the website linked below with many great ideas on how to help your child understand how to regroup while subtracting:
Strategies to Teach Subtraction with Regrouping

Stay Hydrated: The temperatures are starting to (finally!) rise. Please send your child to school with a reusable water bottle each day. On warmer days, you may even consider leaving the water bottle in the freezer the night before school so they have cold water.

Updated on ES ASA Dram Club Times: The ES After School Activities' Drama Club performance was incorrect in ENotes. The correct dates and times are:
April 15 (Sunday) G4-5 12:00-1:00 PM and G2-3 1:30-2:45 PM
April 16 (Monday) G4-5 6:00-7:00 PM
April 17 (Tuesday) G2-3 6:00-7:00 PM

How the World Works: The kids have selected a topic to research related to How the World Works. You and your child can research their topic together during Choice Learning Homework using the wonderful library databases for this unit:

Week 27 & 28 - March 26-April 6

4/8/2018

 
We've had an exciting few weeks in 3D!!

Our field trip to the Geological Museum left us with many questions to answer over the next few weeks.  We also got to explore fossils from many different eras, the different topography of Poland, as well as, many different types of rocks.  

Last week, we prepared for our Student Led Conferences where students were the teachers to their parents.  We were courageous communicators as we made our own individual plans for our parent meetings, which were all a great success!  

To continue our hands-on learning, we also had a local Geologist come in on Thursday to help us explore our Earth's form and resources.  
Check out all the great pictures below!! 

Happy Spring!!!
