Dear Parents/Guardians,
We
hope everyone had a very restful and fun spring break! We are very happy to
have everyone back and to continue our 5th six weeks. J
Please remember to check
out our third grade blog here via our QR code. Scan this with your smart phone
and this will take you right to the blog! J
The
5th grading period has begun! Be sure your child is reading at least
20 minutes a day at home to build their AR averages and boost points too! J Please be reviewing your
multiplication facts too! Having these multiplication facts known will be a
huge tool that your child will use next year as a successful 4th
grader.
We
have begun our 200 club for math and we are counting down the days to be
successful on our test coming up April 23 & 24. Please be aware that your
child should have homework in math almost every night. Please encourage your
child to show ALL their thinking on their page! This is a huge asset to them
when they take their test! J
This is what we will be learning this week!
Math- We will begin our 200 club and countdown to STAR. J
Reading- We will be discussing personification in our story Wilbur’s
Boast this week.
Spelling/LA/Writing- We will be discussing and demonstrating
using our dictionary skills, glossaries, etc. In writing we will begin our
strong endings to stories with practice, practice, practice!
Science- We will continue our study of the Solar System and begin
learning our planets in order and their categories!
Social Studies- We will be discussing the different
branches of government and their roles in our society.
Here is a link to spelling list for the week.
Sincerely,
The 3rd
Grade Team
