Dear Team 22 families,
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you. My name is Diana Weinstein and I will be your child's third grade teacher for the remainder of the school year! :) Mrs. Brazell and I have worked closely over the last 2 weeks to ensure a smooth transition for the students. I have very much enjoyed getting to know your children and look forward to learning more about them both socially and academically.
In class last week, we finished reading the book, Because of Winn-Dixie, and watched the movie, which helped students develop an even stronger understanding of the book. Through this book, we discussed character traits and story elements. Last week, we focused on the "climax" of the story as well as the "solution", how characters take action in order to resolve their problems.
In math, we have continued building on our knowledge of multiplication and division and applying this knowledge to solve for area. Over the next several weeks, students will be taking home a set of number fact triangles to help them develop automaticity with their fact families (both division and multiplication). This fluency will help students solve problems quickly and will become important as we start our work with solving area in story problems this week. Students will be expected to practice using these triangle flash cards for homework each night over the next two weeks. In two weeks, the students will receive new fact triangles to master.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at: dweinstein@framingham.k12.ma.us
Best,
Miss Weinstein
