October 3rd,

Here is some information about the week:

-There is no school Friday.

-Wednesday is a 1:30 dismissal.

-Homework this week will be to study vocab, study spelling words, and study for upcoming tests. There will be no i-Ready this week due to the amount of assessments.

-Today (Monday) the students will have a Social Studies test on Chapter 2. It will be a take home/open book test. They will start it today in class with Mrs. Schifferdecker and it will be due on Wednesday, November 5th.

-There will be a science quiz on Wednesday. Open book and open study guide. The quiz will be on pages 66, 70, and 71. We will review for it tomorrow.

-The reading test (Storm Chasers), spelling test, and religion test (chapter 5) will be on Thursday due to the shortened week. Students can access the story of the week on their chromebooks, it is in Unit 2: Lesson 1. The story is called "Storm Chasers". The instructions for how to access the reading book online is taped into their assignment notebooks.

-In math this week we will be covering 9.2-Use regrouping to add and 9.3- Adding 3 or more numbers.

-I also wanted to make a note that I am aware that this week includes several assessments. The third grade team talked about whether or not we should cover a unit this week and ultimately decided it was a good idea due to the fact that the trimester is over on the 14th. We would like to get as many grades in as possible, especially for any students with lower grades in powerschool. 

October 27th, 

Here is some information about the week:

-Homework will be to study the unit 1 vocab review sheet (it went home Friday) and work on i-Ready lessons. Two in reading and two in math.

-It is Red Ribbon Week. 

-The Halloween Parade and our classroom party will be this Friday. The kiddos can bring candy to pass out (no nuts please). Please also have your child bring a bag that they can bring their treats home in at the end of the day. 

-Tomorrow will be an open book and open study guide science quiz on Topic 2 Lesson 1 "Electric Forces". All students should study tonight. 

-Thursday will be testing day instead of Friday (due to Halloween being on Friday). Thursday will be a vocab test and a cold read reading test. A cold read is a piece of text the student has never seen before, so there will not be a story of the week this week. We will practice studying for the cold read by working on reading comprehension packets this week and practicing highlighting text evidence.
