3rd Grade 2017 - 2018
Alston Ridge Elementary Home of the Alligators!
Hi everyone and welcome back from trackout! I hope you enjoyed yours and the students have shared with me about some of the camps they were involved in. Congratulations to Katie and Nikhil for reading the most over their time out! We'll have another contest during our next one.
Book Drive- The school is having a book drive. Our school goal is to collect 5,000 new and gently used books to support literacy for pre-school and elementary-age students in Wake County. The drive will run from Monday, 02/27 until Thursday, 03/30, and we will use it as an opportunity to celebrate reading each week. Here are more specific details: Donated Book Criteria from WAKE Up and Read: Books must be new or gently used and appropriate for children birth – 12. *For gently used donations, book covers, pages, and spines should be intact and without rips, tears, or added pencil/crayon markings (names of original owners/dedications are acceptable). Used books should not be damaged by mold, water, or fire, and should not show signs of discoloration or age. *Titles like Curious George, The Magic Treehouse, Charlotte’s Web, and bilingual books are appreciated. *We cannot accept coloring books, activity books or magazines. Reading: We are finishing up text structure and working our way deeper into our biography study. We will be learning about all different types of famous people! Ask your student who they have learned about today and their significance in history. Writing: Students will on top of reading about different people in reading, will also be researching a person of their choosing. We will be researching these people for a while. Social Studies: We are still focusing on the three regions of North Carolina this week. (Coastal Plain, Piedmont, and Mountains). Students will be acting like a travel agent later this week and creating a travel brochure of North Carolina and all the great things available in our state. Math: We will be studying fractions into fourth quarter. At this point, students are expected to have the base knowledge of identifying fractions, what the numerator and denominator are, and where fractions might be located on a number line. We also began these concepts before our trackout.
