MATH
Students brought their graded chapter 1 tests home and are correcting any errors and getting a parent signature over the weekend. We will be going over the test on Tuesday, as we do not have math on Monday. Then, we will begin ch. 2: comparing and ordering greater numbers.
READING
This is an exciting week! Third grade will start switching for reading! We will be reading The Lost and Found by Mark Teague as we focus on the summarizing strategy and our sequencing skills.
SPELLING
In spelling, the new lesson focuses on more short vowels. The pretest is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 13. If a student gets a 90% or higher (two or less wrong) they will be in the challenge group and will not be required to take the final test. Students with three or more wrong on the pretest will take the final test on Friday, Sept. 17.
LANGUAGE ARTS
This week we will learn about the dangers of "run on" sentences. By the end of the week we will have completed chapter 1 in our English textbooks. A study guide will be sent home on Monday, September 13th. We will have a chapter 1 test on Friday, September 17th.
SCIENCE
SCIENCE
This week we will continue chapter 9. Students will build their own terrarium in order to learn about condensation. They will also learn about the states of matter.
SOCIAL STUDIES
We will be going on a treasure hunt to use all of the direction skills we learned this past week. Then, our primary focus will be science.
A PE soccer test is scheduled for Wednesday, September 22nd. A study guide will go home on Friday. Please help your child review for this test.
