Third graders had quite the week! On top of working hard in class each day, they demonstrated their Cottonwood Creek spirit while participating in the Run4Funds on Friday. Our class theme was "Minatta's Mustaches!" Lap cards are coming home today, so you'll have a chance to see just how many laps your third grader completed! In the classroom, we have continued our work with addition strategies review and moved on to subtraction. Third graders are excellent at solving the daily story problem, and are consistently explaining their thinking in new and creative ways. After working on paragraph writing the first two weeks of school, next week we will be moving on to informational writing and research. The unit encourages students to experiment with notebook entries and leads to the creation of informational books. In reading, we will begin our Reader's Workshop, centering on nonfiction text. Students will analyze new vocabulary, monitor their comprehension of the text, and be asked to think critically--making inferences and predictions. We will also continue our exploration of Denver's History, focusing on noteworthy people and our capital city's historical buildings. Business:
