Thank you to everyone who came to help the 3^rd Grade Team sort and prepare our new resources!  We really appreciate your help and couldn’t have done it without you!

Next 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 continue to focus on the structure of a fictional text and on identifying the plot elements. There are optional practice links on below.

In writing, we will start our persuasive unit.  Students will create their own persuasive writing and will take it through the writing process. In grammar, we will focus on common prefixes.  There are optional practice links on below.  In Social Studies, we will continue our Founding a Nation Unit as we continue to learn more about the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and our Founding Fathers.

For homework, we will have our 100 minutes of at home reading assignment due on Monday, September 10.  We will also have our spelling homework and test due on Friday, September 14 over the prefix de- and dis- list.  We will continue to use the same spelling menu. All materials have been linked to the blog.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
