I was very happy to see so many in attendance for Curriculum Night. Thank you for your attendance! Hopefully you have a better understanding of third grade. We are really getting into our subjects now, and it feels good. This coming week we will test over science chapter 1. Students may study the study guides located in the binder behind science. There should be three different pages. If one is missing, please let me know so that I can copy replacement pages for study.
Here's what else is going on this week:
Math - In Ch. 2 we will learn about even-odd, place and value, and ways to write a number: standard form, word form, and expanded form. This is a very challenging chapter, and so there may be more math homework this week. Please continue to practice addition and subtraction facts as well so that the review sections of assignments aren't a struggle.
Writing - The class is doing a great job as they practice how to construct a good paraghraph with details!
Spelling - Let the spelling groups begin! Each student was informed of their group and group members. I will meet with two groups each day. Since I have four groups, that means I will meet with your child every other day. Look for the word list in the daily planner as well as word cards being sent home on the first day that the group meets. Feel free to cut cards and sort, learning how the words are connected and how they are spelled.
Reading - I'm not quite ready for groups yet, but know that I will most likely begin them next week. Right now we are practicing visualizing and making connections with what we read.
Science - Our seeds are germinating and growing! We'll bring them home this week. Out first test is Friday.
Social Studies - We will be designing murals depicting urban, suburban, and rural communities. We will also be focusing on map study. Look for a chapter 1 test sometime next week.
Important Events:
Mon. - No school
Tues. - Spelling Groups begin; bring books to return to library;
Fri. - Science Test; Football Spirit Day! Wear as much Ram's attire as you can for the schools classroom contest! Judges will vote on the class with the most spirit. I love football, so I'm hoping we will snatch the prize for the most spirit!!!!!
