Grade 3 Turbo Charged News

September 4, 2023 Uncategorized

Week of September 4-9

Hello Parents and Students. I hope you all had a fun extra long weekend! Let’s get ready to rev up our thinking engines for another 3rd grade week of turbo charged learning!

English       This week we are still reviewing all the punctuation rules for

                      capitalization, periods, commas, apostrophes, and quotations in

                      order to write the best sentences possible! We are becoming great                       3rd grade writers this year!

Reading     In our Daily 5 time, we are building our reading stamina with a

                     goal set for 20 minutes of uninterrupted reading this week! We

                    are also partner reading a fun book called Frindle. Ask your

                    child  who the main character is and what he does.

Writing      Thank you for supporting your child in helping them make a

                      collage about their life! This will help grow their list of topics

                      they can write about. We’ve talked about why we write: P.I.E;

                      to  persuade, to inform, and to entertain.

Bible       Our lessons this week we will learn through song about the books in                   our bible beginning with the Old Testament and ending with the                          New Testament. There is no memory verse this week!

 

Spelling   This week is List 3. Our test will be on Friday since we have a short

                    week.

Math       Our new Chapter is about Place Value. Everyone did well on their

                  math test! I am so proud of them. Some marked mistakes were for

                  not following the written directions. Before the children are

                 allowed to begin the test, we all go through each section of

                 directions first and they are told to re-read each direction

                 before they begin a new section.

Science  We will begin a unit on mammals. A favorite set of lessons among

                 children since they already know so much from having pets or

                  zoo visits.

Quizzes and Tests:

                     Spelling Test List 3  Friday

                    Bible Quiz  Friday
