Although I love snow and snow days, I feel very ready to be getting back to school. Maybe it is because we have so much to do before the end of the quarter. The midquarter grades are posted on SIS, though there are a few students with missing grades in some areas such as stories for writing and flow charts for social studies. I'll do my best to collect and grade those items as quickly.
Here's what is happening this week:
Math - We didn't get the Evaluate Test in last week, so we will take it tomorrow. We will also study space figures in geometry. Because there are only three lessons in Chapter 21, we will not test over them. Students are still responsible for the information, however.
Writing - We will finalize the business plan paragraph (recopy) and then begin a new story. I am using prompts because this is what all students will be doing on the language arts portion of the MAP test - write, edit, and recopy a narrative story that they have written. It is hard to believe a third grader could be expected to do so much for an achievement test, isn't it?
Reading - More main idea and detail!
Science - Physical properties of matter. We will learn the difference between a mixture and solution and make some of each!
Social Studies - We should come to the end of chapter 9 by the end of the week. I'm not sure when the test will be due to the snow days. Please check the planner daily!
