Dear 3rd Grade Parents,
Please take a look at this week's highlights:
Vocabulary/Spelling: Weekly testing schedule changed this week! All Unit 17 workbook pages due tomorrow (Thursday) but Unit 17 Quiz is on Friday. Spelling Test Unit 17 moved to Monday.
Reading: Essential skills practice in facts vs. opinions, making predictions, and making inferences.
English: Chapter 13 Test over Main and Helping Verbs tomorrow. We will do a group review today. Study page 462.
Math: Students are introduced to Geometry as they explore plane and solid figures, perimeter, area, volume, congruent and similar figures in the textbook on Chapter 9. In ALEKS, most students are still working on completing their Multiplication and Division portion of the pie, but students this week are encouraged to master at least two topics in the Multiplication/Division portion, and two topics in the Geometry portion at home.
Religion: Students will learn and know the cultural and religious significance of celebrating The Three Kings this week (cross curricular study in their Spanish class).
Science: We will continue to explore technology innovations, inventions, and simple machines.
Notes/Reminder:
1. Ask your child about what he/she wrote in today's composition assignment (New Year's Resolutions) and discuss ways to improve themselves.
2. Spirit Day tomorrow. Wear plain jeans and Spirit Day shirt.
3. This week's Tuesday folders will not log in any homework defaults/flips - new year = clean slate! Keep your kids motivated as we complete the second half of the year.
4. Thank you for your generosity as you have showered and pampered the 3rd grade teacher this Christmas! I am blessed to witness the growth and development of your children, and I am equally blessed to have strong partnerships with their parents.
~Mrs. Pia Villanueva-Pulido
