WELCOME TO 3RD GRADE!!!
We began our Theme II- "Celebrating Traditions"
We began with our spelling list with "homework" activities to help learn the
list of words. This year we will have 25 words at times and one week to learn
them. by Friday of next week, we will have our spelling
test. Spelling Test- Friday Nov.13(Friday the 13th)
"The Talking Cloth" is our new story.
There will also be a vocabulary test around the same time as Spelling.
Vocabulary Test- Wed.Nov.11
We have begun Our Science and Math lessons as well. "Pop" quizzes are given
on these topics for quick checks on comprehension. No worries. No studying
involved. Any actual tests will be announced with study sheet handouts.
As you may have noticed a Weekly Skills Test was given with completion of our
lessons within the weekly story. Practice is given on every skill through many
different approaches. They are already getting the hang of it! However, my
expectation is that they will improve as the year progresses. This expectation
should easily become a reality as we really get into the swing of things, all
the "cobwebs" are cleared out and they settle into their new environment.
Math facts are being reviewed at this time and more practice is needed with
the "old" addition and subtraction facts, since in Third grade, the emphasis
is on multiplication and division, with multiplication facts covered by
Christmas! Right around the corner(ahhh!)
WE BEGAN Subtracting 2 digits Making change. Try them at home with this. They
enjoy it even
it is tough!
Here's Hoping for a Great Year! I will keep you informed. FYI Mrs. Bolus
