ISAT WEEK
This week, it is very important to eat a hearty breakfast and get plenty of sleep. Third grade will be taking the ISATs on Tuesday morning, Wednesday morning/afternoon, Thursday morning/afternoon. Next week, the final test is on Wednesday afternoon. If at all possible, please avoid keeping your child home on these days. Some parents sent in snacks for students to nibble on before our tests - I very much appreciate this - thank you so much! Testing with a full belly makes a huge difference! Also, if you have not had an opportunity to send me a letter/sign for your child, you can certainly send that in on Monday or Tuesday.
Here is our upcoming week in a nutshell:
No School on Friday, 3/4
No School on Monday, 3/7
Parent/Teacher conferences are this week. If you have forgotten your time, feel free to email me.
MATH
On Monday and Tuesday, we will be reviewing T-charts and concepts covered earlier in the year to refresh for our tests on Wednesday and Thursday. I am going to resume with math fact tests after ISATs are over. Our x10 test will be Wed. 3/16. In the meantime, please continue practicing at home.
READING/SPELLING
We will be taking the ISATs during this time.
ENGLISH
Students are going to finish up their friendly letters and then we will mail them out. All of the junk we have been collecting will then be put to use on a project we are writing - be sure to look for this project at Open House.
SOCIAL STUDIES
Our study of Egypt continues and we have a lot of fun projects/activities planned this week.
SCIENCE
We will be finishing up chapter 4 on ecosystems. I expect to test on Thursday, 3/10.
Have a wonderful week!
