Reading: The accelerated reading group will finish reading Everything on a Waffle. The written test and Accelerated Reading test will be Wednesday, May 18th. The rest of the week the students will be doing follow up activities on the book.

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: The next test is Monday, May 16th and will cover pages 146 through 164. The rest of the week we will review the skills on pages 157 through 162. The final test is on Friday, May 20th.
Spelling: We will learn the words in lesson 34 this week. The test will be on Thursday. 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 are continuing to work on sentence fluency. Students are focusing on using joining words like if, so, and because.
Timed Tests: 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 are in Chapter 11 on multiplying and dividing greater numbers. We will cover lessons 11-9 through 11-13 this week. Diagnostic Checkpoint 11B is on Wednesday, May 18th.
