LA and SS for the week of 1/23/12

LANGUAGE ARTS


Spelling- Words will come home on Monday of this week.  Spelling homework menu items are due on Thursday.  Test on Friday.


Reading-  Your kids are getting the hang of QAR.  They wrote some pretty tough questions last week about an article on Full-Body Boarding.  
This week, we will continue to think about question answer relationships.
We also practiced this concept and applied our reading strategies on a reading passage.  Look for a passage to come home on Mondays and be due on Fridays.  I'm sending home the class example with homework on Monday so that you can see what kind of work needs to be done when answering questions.  I will also send home a READING CHECKLIST for your student to use as he or she reads the passage and completes the questions.


Writing- We will continue to read and critiquing book reviews. Our hope is to learn enough from what we consume (read) to produce some of our own!


Don't forget to check out the class blog, THIRD GRADE THOUGHTS. They will update this every Wednesday for your reading pleasure.


SOCIAL STUDIES
We will read and discuss the book, I am the Ocean.  Then, students will work to use personification and landform characteristics to create LANDFORM POETRY!
