3rd Grade News

September 3 - 7

This Week’s Focus

Memory – Books of the New Testament

Religion -  What is the Bible?  Why is it important? And what does it mean to 
be a christian?

Language Arts - See handout that was sent home.

Math – Clocks, number lines, addition, and subtraction

Spelling – Plural words

Handwriting – Manuscript review

Social Studies – Understanding the Geography of the World

Science – The questions and skills of scientists

   We continue to learn routines and what is going to work best for our class.  
A few things to note as the year continues:

• tennis shoes need to be worn or brought to school on Tuesday and Friday 

for P.E.

• under each problem in the math book it will tell you which lesson to 

reference for help on that problem

• I have made a changed our schedule to have Science on Monday, 

Wednesday and Friday afternoons and Social Studies on Tuesday and Thursday 

afternoons.

• Corrections are required for papers that receive a 75% or less, suggested 

for papers receiving an 85% or less, and any student receiving a 94% or less 

are able to correct papers.

    It is a joy to teach your children and I look forward to all of the adventures 
yet to come.

In Christ,

Mrs. Hines
