READING
How is your child's "Good Fit Book" working out? Are they reading with 98% accuracy or higher? This week we will continue to highlight summarizing and sequencing using materials differentiated for our classroom's various reading levels, and will be extending our knowledge through written responses. We will also assess our third graders on their ability to sequence events from text. Students will make their own comic, which involves sequencing of events as well.
SPELLING
We will be pretesting on lesson 5 (short and long vowels) on Monday, 9/26. If your child receives a 90% or higher, they will be working from the "challenge" list of words for their homework. All students complete the cursive worksheet as part of their homework. The challenge group will complete two activities and the non-challenge group will complete workbook 85 and abc order for homework. The final test and all homework is due on Friday.
ENGLISH
We've completed unit 1 on the sentence and will not begin our unit on descriptive writing.
SCIENCE

Enjoy your first weekend of fall!
