Dear 3rd Grade Parents,
Please take a look at this week's highlights:
Vocabulary/Spelling: Unit 14 due tomorrow in the textbook. Vocabulary Quiz on Thursday and Spelling Test on Friday.
Reading: We wrapped up a wonderful novel unit with some creative projects and dioramas of Wayside School! Visit the hallway and check out some of our creations. This week, we will begin using Essential Skills for Reading Success: Strategies for Reading Comprehension and Test Taking, a supplementary reading material provided by the Downes family. This book provides practical reading skill strategies such as recalling facts, main ideas, identifying sequences, analyzing narrative elements, recognizing cause and effect, drawing conclusions, and making inferences. Combining our prior knowledge with the Thinking Maps strategies, we discovered that we already know at least 8 out of the 14 skills introduced in the textbook. Today, the class took an active part in their own learning by identifying which Thinking Map to use to analyze the Table of Contents in the textbook.
English: We did very well in our last English/Grammar test. We will continue with lessons on nouns with a focus on singular and plural possessive nouns.
Math: We are almost finished with our Math Multiplication and Division drill and will continue in our learning mode in ALEKS. This week's focus is the ALEKS QuickTables practice (using the 10 key)Stay tuned for more instructions regarding our "MyPie" learning mode.
Notes/Reminder:
1. Tomorrow Mrs. Grimm and Mrs. Hays will conduct an all-school liturgy practice to go over some of the changes in the responses for Friday's Mass.
Have a wonderful week!
~Mrs. Pia Villanueva-Pulido
