Reading: *** We will not trade classes for reading this week. Instead I will be reading aloud to the children. The accelerated reading group will be reading Everything on a Waffle. If your child has Mrs. Slaughter for reading, then you can go to her website at http://mrsslaughter.weebly.com to find out what they are doing in reading each week. If your child goes to Mrs. Chambers for reading, then you can go to her website at http://mrscchambers.weebly.com to find out what they are doing in reading each week.
Cursive Handwriting: Many students need to slow down so that their cursive is not messy. All words should sit on the line, tall letters should touch the top line, and a, o, and d must be closed.
Language: We will continue to learn about nouns, verbs, and subjects.
Spelling: *** There is not spelling this week. You can go to www.spellingcity.com for online practice of the spelling words each week. Just go "Find a List" and then for the teacher type in "SCPS Third Grade." All the lists for the entire year will appear. Just choose the one for this week.
Writing: We will be working on some final drafts of pieces we started last month.
Timed Tests: *** There will be no graded timed tests this week. Timed tests for addition and subtraction are on Wednesdays. This week will be 100 subtraction problems in 4 minutes. Students should be studying addition and subtraction math facts every night. Now that students have been tested over each multiplication fact set separately, they will be tested with the multiplication facts mixed up. On these tests, the highest fact will be 10 times 10. These tests will be every Friday until the end of the school year so students need to be practicing the facts mixed up each night as well.
Math: We will cover lessons 9-4 through 9-8 this week. Diagnostic Checkpoint 9A will be Monday, April 4th.
Social Studies: We will do some geography activities this week and continue with Unit 4, Chapter 7 next week.
Bible: *** There is no Bible verse this week.
