Hello 3M families!
This week sure did go by quickly! Here's what's going on in 3M .....
- Conference Sign Up. Please check out the following website to sign up for a conference. I hope to meet with all of you. Conferences are 20 minutes long. I'm excited to share all kinds of great things that your children are doing here at school!

- In Social Studies, we are now learning about Downers Grove. We are studying the history of the town, and eventually we will take a fun field trip to downtown Downers Grove.
- Math is soooo busy! We are still working on multiplication strategies and word problems. The kids are showing a lot of their work in arrays - ask them what that is! Please continue to practice addition, subtraction, and multiplication facts up to 12 at home. We are also learning about different types of quadrilaterals for geometry. We are finding lines of symmetry along with identifying all kinds of quadrilaterals. Finally, we are working on liquid measurements using milliliters and liters and fractions. Like I said, there is A LOT going on in math every day!
- In writing, the kids are creating really descriptive advertisements about haunted houses. They are trying to "sell" their haunted houses to monsters by using persuasive language.
- In reading, we are continuing to use context clues to find the meanings of words.
Please let me know if you have any questions, and I look forward to seeing you all at conferences!
