Be on the Lookout for…
- Tuesday Folders will come home today. 3rd quarter report cards will come home Friday.
- After this week, no more student work samples will come home until the last few weeks of school. Students need to hold onto samples to prepare for student led conferences (coming towards the end of May). If you need to see any specific work samples in that time, you are welcome to swing by and have a look!
- Please mark your calendars, student led parent-teacher conferences will be held the week of May 21-25th. Students will spend time reflecting on their work from the whole year, goal setting for EOG’s and 4th grade, and sharing some of their favorite pieces. Please plan for at least 1 parent to attend, free of siblings if possible so the focus can remain on your 3rd grader. Sign up slots are listed here. Please RSVP 🙂
- On April 20th at 2:45, we will celebrate all EIGHT of our April birthdays together. A dojo post went out last week for any parents with students who will be celebrated to provide some sort of piece of the puzzle to make this a special day. If your child has an April birthday and you did not see this post, please check your Class Story or message me for more info. word-celebrate
- Join your Oakview friends at CarnivOWL on Friday, April 26th from 6-8:30 here at school.
This week in Literacy:
Students will read the historical fiction text “Back of the Bus” and next week will be working through “Brave Girl” as we look at how character actions define them and change the course of the story. Both stories connect to social studies topics we have researched this year, Civil Rights and Immigration!
This week in Math:
Students are connecting geometry with fractions as we wrap up a lengthy, but exciting Fractions unit.  Lots of vocab is important in understanding this concept. Here is a parent guide for helping you and your student understand our main learning outcomes
Current vocab: numerator, denominator, unit fraction, partition, number line, visual model
Concepts to review: place value, addition with regrouping, subtraction with borrowing, rounding to the nearest 10 and 100, quadrilateral, parallelogram, trapezoid, rectangle, square, rhombus, arrays, repeated addition, area, perimeter, rectilinear area, commutative property (flip flop rule), number line, product, distributive (break apart method), associative property, graphs, pictographs, bar graphs
A year long “Scope and Sequence” which lays out our math curriculum pacing for the year
