We are continuing to teach maps and globes. More information will be coming home regarding the final test dates for maps and globes test and mental map quiz. At home your child can practice creating a mental map of the world including the 7 continents and 5 oceans. A letter went home with your child's mental map and the date of the final quiz is TBD. Your child's teacher will let you know when those assessments will take place by putting the dates on the 3rd grade calendar and the assignment notebook. Both the mental map and maps and globes unit test will be the week of Oct. 17th. Your child will take home a blue foldable this week and can use that as as study guide resource.

Reading/Math Calendar Reminders:
Thanks so much for your donations for our Sept. Reading/Math celebration. The rooms smelled delicious with all the apples & cinnamon. The kids had a fun time enjoying the special treat! Please remember to have your child continue to read, practice addition math facts and log his/her minutes on the October reading/math calendar. A great resource to use for studying math facts is by clicking on Parkview's homepage, then the IMC tab, then Moby Max. Your child can enter his/her username and password located in the assignment book. Your child's teacher will show them this resource this week, but you can also have them try it out this weekend.

Math Graphing:
We are teaching your child how to collect, organize and interpret data. The goal is to write quality statements about graphs so in real life your child can understand graphs when reading the newspaper, Internet, magazines etc. If you happen to see a graph or use a graph in your work please share this with your child.  This week we will be working on bar graphs and line plots. Here is the Skittle graph sign up. Thanks for your donations.
