Wow! The first week of school flew by! We had so much fun getting to know all of our amazing 3rd Grade students.
This week, we will continue to read Back to School, Mallory by Laurie Friedman. We have limited copies of this text so if students have their own copies of this book at home, they are welcome to bring them to school. We will focus on character traits and will focus on the changes we see the characters in our book undergo. We will also focus on the reading skill sequencing as we read our focus stories of the week Amazing Grace by Mary Hoffman and The Great Pig Escape by Eileen Christelo.
In writing, we will continue our personal narrative unit. Students will be creating their first composition of the year focusing on their first day of school! We will be looking at verb tenses in grammar, focusing on past, present, and future verbs. In Social Studies, we will continue our Celebrate Freedom unit as we learn about the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.
For homework, we will have our 100 minutes of at home reading assignment due on Monday, August 27. We will also have our spelling homework and test due on Thursday, August 30 over the compound words list. All materials have been linked to the blog.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
