We have reached the week of NRT (Norm Reference Testing). Your child will be taking different sections of the test this week on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Make up times will be scheduled the next week or the week of the 26th if your child must be absent.
In Math this week we are still studying pictographs, bar graphs, tally charts, and dot plots. The students will be taking information in tally charts and pictographs and creating bar graphs and dot plots to match the information. A test question to access this skill might look like this:
A dot plot graph looks like this:
Although we only have HW on Monday night, please continue to study fast facts. Your child will have a fast facts test this Friday and it will be inputted into the grade book. There is no Problem of the Week this week.
In Science this week we will be focusing on a new typing curriculum. Your child will utilize the typing machines that third grade has to increase their WPM while typing. The students will learn about the "home row" keys and the proper placement of their hands while typing. We aim to avoid chicken pecking!!!
It's going to be a busy week with testing and new typing curriculum! Wish us luck!
