Dear 3rd Grade Parents,
Please take a look at this week's highlights:
Vocabulary/Spelling: Unit 13 workbook pages due tomorrow. Today we are reviewing using word maps to identify synonyms, antonyms, definitions, and usage. Vocabulary Quiz on Thursday. Spelling Test on Friday.
Reading: We have finished our unit novel Sideways Stories from Wayside School. The reader response packet is due in class today. Please allow students to bring materials from home (no need to buy) to create a diorama of the novel's setting and scene as our classroom project.
English: We are reviewing Nouns: Common vs Proper and Abbreviations and Titles. We will have a test tomorrow over Chapter 7. Study page 458 in the textbook.
Math: We finally finished reciting our Math multiplication facts from 2's through 12's! See daily grades for the recitation entered in your parent Renweb account. This week, we will practice written mixed multiplication with some division, so expect to find more drills for homework and class work. We will also return to the ALEKS lessons using QuickTables for more Math drills practice.
Religion: This week, we will use sources from the Faith and Life series to understand the following concepts: God is eternal, God is almighty, all holy, all wise, and all perfect. We aim to have the children understand that through God's perfections, He made each person unique (cross-curricular tie-in with the Bucket Fillers vs. Bucket Dippers character building lesson).
We are well into our 2nd quarter in our grades and class work. It is important to keep reminding our children that our classroom performance and our work habits are reflective of our report card grades. Let's keep the kids (and each other) motivated to work hard!
Have a blessed week!
~Mrs. Pia Villanueva-Pulido
