3rd Grade Update
Parents,
M-STEP testing starts next week. It is important that your child has enough sleep each night and a good breakfast in the morning. I have talked to the students about doing their best work as a student and these two factors will be very helpful in your child’s attitude toward doing their best.
Thanks for your support in this!
Government: We will have our test on Thursday. A review sheet went home tonight. Your child will need to know the three branches of Government, what they do, and who is in charge.
Math: We have been doing some end of the year review and testing to help us understand how we did with the math concepts this year.
Spelling: This will be our last week- until further notice- for spelling words. We will continue to work on spelling and grammar in class. Please help your child to work on their spelling words this week for the test on Friday.
Reading: We have been working on reading a text and responding in writing as well as reading and summarizing. As a class, we have also been reminding ourselves of our reading procedures- stay in one spot, read the whole time, build stamina.
This Week!
We have reviewed our recycling unit today. Your child will come home with 2 review pages to study tonight. One is a review page we did in class and the other is an article we read that will be very helpful. I’ve explained to the students that it will be important to know what reduce, reuse, recycle mean and be able to give examples of each. Our recycling test will be tomorrow.
We will be finishing up Government this week and plan on having our test on Friday. This is a shorter test, but very important that the review page be studied. This review will come home later in the week. Please ask your third grader about the three branches of Government (executive, legislative, and judicial) and what they do.
Our field trip is on Thursday.Please send a sack lunch. Please remember to dress your child according to the weather and with tennis shoes. If it is very sunny, it would be a good idea to apply sunscreen before coming to school. If it is a rainy/stormy day, we will have to cancel.
