October 26

Religion:  The students were assigned a saint to research. They went to the computer lab to find a picture of their saint and started research this week. On Tuesday they will be typing their information onto a slide. In technology class they will learn how to use the different features of Google Slides. They will be able to work on the slide at home using their email address to access their drive. On Friday we will be sharing their slides with the class.
Writing: Grammar Lesson - Comparative and Superlative Adjectives
Next week the third graders will begin a unit on Personal Narratives. We will be listening to many examples of personal narratives, and we will then write about some of our own special memories.
Math:   Our third unit starts next week with measurement. The students will focus on measuring with a ruler, standard linear measures and perimeter. There is a lot of vocabulary in this unit for your child to recall.
Spelling: Week 7 Long I (Cie, Cy, CCy, igh) & Final Consonant Digraphs ck, ng, nk
The spelling section of the website contains all of the weekly lists and the choice words in case your child misplaces their words.  You can also find a copy of LSCW if you need it.
Science/SS: Students will review matter content and test will be on Tuesday, October 30. They will do a fun activity on Thursday to wrap up the unit! We will start a Government Unit on Friday.
Comprehension: We will continue to work on visualizing next week. We will read the book The Spooky Tail of Prewitt Peacock and discuss the pictures that we created in our minds. Then we will notice and write down words that helped us visualize in our own reading books.
