March 14

Religion:  Third grade will be in charge of our Lenten Prayer Service on Tuesday, March 26 at 8:40. The students will also continue working on their Stations of the Cross booklet. They will also be taking some time to make decorations for the Sunsational Seniors next meeting in March.
Writing: This week we focused on adding adjectives with our Mentor Sentence. We started a unit over opinion pieces. Students will practice trying to convince their reader to change their mind about a topic.
Math:  Unit 8 starts after Spring Break. Our focus will be on fractions. The concepts that will be reviewed and introduced are using the number line to understand fractions, equivalent fractions, comparing fractions, and fractions greater than one.
Spelling: Week 23 R-Controlled Vowels (eer, ear) / Suffixes (able, ly, ward)
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 have a review day for our Moon Test on Monday, March 25th. Our Moon unit test will be on Tuesday, March 26th. We will start our plant unit on Thursday, March 28th.
Comprehension: After spring break we will start our Reader's Theater unit. Each child will be assigned a part and they will act out their part using only their voice. This unit focuses on fluency and expression.
