READING
This week we will finish up our review of inferring with fiction texts and move into thinking about how to create a summary of a fiction text. We will introduce a strategy called CPR. Students will learn that there are some necessary elements to include in a summary- characters, problem, resolution.
WRITING
Your children have written some FABULOUS expository essays. This week we will finish up revising and editing these pieces so we can publish them to share with you at Publisher's Picnic.
Mrs. Bolton, our WITS instructor, will be back with us this week. We all love the fresh new ideas she brings to our instruction and learning.
SPELLING
The spelling homework menu is due on the following Tuesday (3/10) and the test will be on that Wednesday (3/11). If you need support with spelling, please email me. If you child looses his or her spelling words, please look at the spelling spiral as we write them down as part of our lesson on Wednesdays.
SOCIAL STUDIES
All third graders will take a quiz on 3/10 on the inventors, scientists and founding fathers we have covered over the last few weeks. Please encourage your child to bring home his or her social studies journal. They have been working hard to complete guided notes on each historical figure. You can also reference the Social Studies Links page on this blog for more information.
HOMEWORK
