This is the last week of the 1st quarter!! Can you beleive how fast it has gone?! There will be no school for students this Friday. This will be a teacher work day in order for us to finish up our 1st quarter grades and get prepared to meet with you for Parent Conferences next week.
Here's a look at the learning that will happen this week in our class:
Reading
We are still practicing how to "synthesize" information when we read. This is when we put ideas together to create new ideas.
Our Theme Test will be on THURSDAY this week.
I will not be meeting with small groups this week or next week. I will be benchmarking students to get their current reading level so that I can re-evaluate reading groups for the 2nd quarter.
Spelling
The patterns this week are:
1. ie, igh, oa, and ow
2. "tri-" which means three.
The test will be on Thursday this week.
Writing
We are publishing our "I Am" poems and our sequences this week.
In grammar we will be learning about imperative and exclamatory sentences. Ask your child if they can tell you the difference between the two types of sentences.
Math
We did a review lesson today and will be taking our Topic 4 test tomorrow.
We will begin Topic 5 on Wednesday. The lessons in this topic focus on multiplication facts and patterns.
Social Studies
We are continuing to study maps and will begin a state research project later this week. The majority of this project will be completed at school. The 3rd graders will be hosting a "Tourism Day" on October 27. This is the culminating event for this project. Students will have the opportunity during our "Tourism Day" to share all the information they learned about the state they researched.
Science
Reminder: Solar Houses are due on Monday, October 24th.
