 3rd Grade News

September 12-16

This Week’s Focus

Memory - 1st & 2nd Commandments and Meanings

Religion - This week we will cover lessons 6-9 about what it means to be a Christian.

Language Arts - See attached sheet.

Spelling – Base Words and Ending -ed, -ing, -er, -est

Handwriting – This week we continue learning our cursive handwriting motions and will start our letters with i and t.

Math - We review place value, rounding, and estimating sums and differences.  We will have a test over this information on Friday.

Social Studies - This week we finish up our study of geography and finding our community in the world.  We will test over this unit on Thursday.

Please note that the only graded papers that I need to be returned to me, are those that your student has corrections on.  The signature slip just lets me know that you have seen their graded papers.  We are still doing a lot together in the third-grade room, however, this is the year students start working on their independence.  It is important that we work together to prepare them for the next couple of years.  Building that independence will become more and more important.

This week Wednesday, we will have our first special class activity.  We will spend the afternoon (1:15 - 3:00) learning about Johnny Appleseed, apples, and making homemade applesauce.  If you would like to join us for these activities please let me know ASAP so I can plan ahead.

In Christ,

Mrs. Hines
