For the week of 10/4/2010

Asalamu Alaikum,

Inshallah this letter gets to all of you while you and your families are in good health and happiness from Allah (SWT).  Guided reading groups will continue as usual this week. We will be practicing sequence of events, subject and predicate and the writing trait, voice. In Math we will have our first test on Friday and it will cover Chapter 1. Chapter 1 includes, writing numbers in expanded, word and standard form, comparing and ordering numbers, place value and rounding. We will also start counting money and writing amounts using dollar signs and decimal points. A study guide will come home today for practice. In Science this week we will be learning about the life cycles of different animals and we will compare learned traits with inherited traits. In Social Studies, we will learn about how the glaciers helped form landforms and bodies of water in Michigan and about the first people of Michigan. We are still practicing our multiplication tables of 3. Students need to practice those at home as well as at school. If you have any questions regarding third grade activities, please contact me at any time. Remember, this Thursday we will be going on a field trip to Wiard's apple orchard in Ypsilanti. Thank you very much for all of your support and cooperation.

  1. Assalam Wa'alykum Sr. Maha,
    I was just wondering would you be able to post the homework on your blog daily. It would make life easier. For example, today my son did the worksheet and I made him read his science book, but nothing about spelling so far for this week and so I'm making him write the words 3x each. Can you let me know if he did have spelling. Thank you for all that you are doing. Jazak Allah Khayr:)

  2. Asalamu Alaikum,
    Sister Shaikha, Students did have spelling homework homework this week. They had to write them 3 times each and on Wednesday they had abc order. However, that is a great idea I will definitely start posting homework starting next week. Also, Ayman has a daily homework log that he fills out with me every day and all of the homework is recorded there so please look for it. JAK.
