Hello
Parents,
Our first
conferences for the school year will be held on October 15 and 16.
You will sign up for your conference online at http://www.ptcfast.com/schools/osgood.
An email was sent October 1 with the instructions for selecting your
conference time. There will be one conference per student for all
parents/guardians to attend. Please call the school office at
701-356-2190 with any questions. We look forward to meeting with you!
In reading, we are making text connections between realistic fiction and real life. We are also identifying character traits by their actions, words, and feelings. For writer's workshop, we will continue writing personal narratives and embed our grammar skills into our writing (commas, quotation marks, adjectives and verb tense).
We started
unit 2 in math this last week. I have included all of the standards we will be
working on below. We will continue to review telling time, rounding to the nearest
ten & hundred and multiplication/division. Please practice these skills at
home as well. In science, we are designing a renewable windmill machine and we will solve problems in different ways using a variety of materials. We are also learning how scientists use patterns to make predictions about weather and natural disasters.
Vocabulary we are learning:
- Overcome
- Persevere
- Resolve
- Study
- Analyze
UNIT 2: NUMBER STORIES AND ARRAYS
ND Math Standards
• 3.OA.1
Interpret products of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 5 x 7 as the total
number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a total number
of objects can be expressed as 5 x 7.
o
Interpret multiplication in terms of equal groups by drawing arrays or
equal groups to match number stories.
• 3.OA.2
Interpret whole number quotients of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 56 ÷ 8
as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares, or
as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8
objects each. For example, describe a context in which a number of shares or a
number of groups can be expressed as 56 ÷ 8.
o
Interpret equal grouping and equal sharing situations by drawing arrays
or other representations.
• 3.OA.3
Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations
involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities. E.g., by using drawing and
equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
o
Solve number stories in situations involving equal groups and arrays by
representing the stories with drawing, repeated addition, or skip counting.
• 3.OA.7 Fluently multiply and divide within
100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and
division (e.g., knowing that 8 x 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of
operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two
one-digit numbers.
o
Fluently multiply using strategies for all products of one-digit numbers
and 1, 2, 5, and 10.
• 3.OA.8
Solve two-step word problems using the four operations. Represent these
problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity Assess the reasonableness of
answers using mental compensation and estimation strategies including rounding.
o
Make sense of and represent number stories involving addition and
subtraction.
• 3.NBT.2 Fluently
add and subtract within 1,000 using strategies and algorithms based on place
value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and
subtraction.
o
Add and subtract within 1,000 using tools along with strategies based on
place value and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.
