Mrs. Forsyth's 3rd grade class!: 4.6 Monday's Learning Opportunities and Because of the Rabbit

Hello everyone,

I hope you were able to get outside and enjoy the warmer weather this weekend.

Beginning this week I'll assign daily work through your child's Google Classroom account and a daily email. I will use both these modes of communication for the next few weeks. A new lesson for writing and math will be sent early in the week. The remainder of the week, students will receive activities to reinforce these skills. The daily read aloud, Because of the Rabbit can be viewed through Google Classroom, the daily email and blog.

Your child may type their work onto many of the documents assigned in Google Classroom. You can also print the assignments if you prefer your child use more paper and pencil. Please do what is best for your family and child.

Here is the link I sent last Friday with information on how to log into Google Classroom.

4.3 Information on Google Classroom

Students are invited to a classroom meeting on Google Meet this Tuesday at 1:00. You will receive an email with a link for the meeting. Your child may bring a favorite stuffed animal to share. :) Please know that this is OPTIONAL.
It would be helpful to know if you prefer not to join.

1. Watch today's read aloud to help you answer these questions. Give evidence from the text that supports your answer.
