Hello!
So sorry for the delay. We get pretty busy here in room 604 that I just realized this was not sent out yet this week. Oh, my!
We have officially completed our state assessments. The kids did a fantastic job!! Your child should've brought home information with them yesterday regarding his/her math performance. Please let me know if you have not seen it. Keep in mind that the scores are preliminary and are not official until later in the year.
Here is a peek at what's coming up:

Scavenger Hunt
Spirit Day- Color War Day-- 3rd graders need
to wear YELLOW!

Things will
be fairly normal this week with our regular learning and
routines. Yay for "normalcy!" :)
Reading- We will be reading stories from Theme 16 which correlate
with our science unit, recycling and natural resources. I have been benchmarking this week to check your child's progress. We are also meeting in groups to continue practicing our comprehension strategies. We will start a novel study at the end of the week or on Monday.
Spelling- The spelling lists
this week will contain words that require consonant doubling. The test will be
on Friday.
Writing- The students have been doing a lot of writing lately regarding books they choose to read along with other pieces I have given them. I have tried to emphasize the importance of citing the story/article to support their statements. They are doing well with it and will continue to be challenged with supporting their ideas with concrete evidence. This works particularly well with expository texts.
Math- We will be learning more about fractions this week.
This week's focus is learning how to compare fractions using
several different strategies.
Science- We will continue to learn about
recycling and natural resources.
Have a super week!
