Dear Parents and Families,

It has been another wonderful week in 3C!  I am so lucky to have the opportunity to teach your children this year.  I am amazed by them everyday.  Here is an update for what is coming up in week 3 for third grade:

Assessments

Monday: Math (Please use the review in your student’s workbook to study.  You might also want to review exercises 1-6 in their workbook). 

Tuesday: Science (On the scientific method) Please see the study guide that is coming home tonight- Friday August 21^st.

Wednesday: None

Thursday: None

Friday: None

Subjects

Spalding:  We are going to continue to fill in our Spalding rule pages.  There is no homework for Spalding next week, but if your scholar needs to practice handwriting and/or phonograms please continue to do this at home.  All work in all subjects are now to be done in cursive.

Grammar/Writing: We will begin working on summaries using Writing with Ease.  We will also be reviewing proof reading and punctuation rules

Literature:  We will continue to read Little House on the Prairie.  Ask you scholar some questions at home.

Here are some example questions?

What happened in the chapters this week?

What part was your favorite?  What part was your least favorite?  Why?

Which character is your favorite? Why?

What do you think is going to happen next?

Which virtues have you seen the characters showing? 

Poetry:  Please continue to have your scholar practice the poem “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost.  Recitations will be on Friday September 4^th.

Math:  After our quiz on Monday we will moving into the next unit which covers adding within 100.  We will begin learning bar models!

Science: On Monday we will do another fun experiment to demonstrate the scientific method.  Tuesday is our assessment (quiz).  Then we will be jumping into our next unit- animal classification!

History:  We will be continuing our unit on Geography.  We will be discussing directions, maps, borders, and capitals. 

Wish List!

Parents we are already low on tissues!  If you are able, we would love some extra tissue boxes for our sniffling noses. 

Please reach out if you have any comments, questions, or concerns. 

Best,

Ms. Caro
