THIS WEEK'S HOMEWORK

March 21, 2016 (check for updates!)

MONDAY       Library books due tomorrow.

CONTINUE COLLECTING - $ made from chores (dishes, garbage...) will be collected for charity 

Words sheet #18

Math Yellow Group:  Worksheet  (due Friday)

Math Blue Group:  Worksheet  (due Friday)  We are focusing on using easy numbers (0,1,2,5,10), estimating, and vertical multiplication. The factors 6x10 are easier to multiply than the factors 6x9 .  The factors 6x10 give a product of 60. So 6x9 would be one less group of 6 (or 6 less groups of 1) which gives a product of 54. We multiply the ones column, then the tens column. If the product from the ones column is greater than 9, the groups of tens are ADDED to the tens column product.

Sentence Stretchletics  (see instructions on inside cover of Words duotang) I am expecting the single sentence with three circled list words from this week to have 4-5 changes in blue. Then the first letter and punctuation should be circled in red. Any proper nouns (names) should have the first letter circled in yellow.  Finally, any spelling errors should be corrected in green. 

Grade 3 Science: Review Choosing The Right Material . We took a walk around school (with grade 4s) identifying materials used to achieve specific property (rubber chair feet). Look for examples in your home!
