Religion:  Next week we will be preparing for the May Crowning Mass. All of third grade is in charge of this mass. The students are also asked to bring in a flower for the procession of mass to present to Mary. Thursday and Friday we will be talking the Rosary and the Glorious Mysteries.

Writing: This week we focused on personification with our Mentor Sentence. We presented our author projects to the class, and we started a unit on Poetry.

Math:  Unit 9 continues next week. The focus remains on multiplication and division. Although there are no graded timed tests for multiplication and division, the students are encouraged to get the basic facts memorized. They will be learning different strategies for multi-digit multiplication problems.

Spelling: Week 26 R-Controlled Vowels (oar,oor, our) / Suffixes (er, an, ist)

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: Blank Park Zoo will be visiting on Monday. They will be bringing a few animals that could be found in rainforests. Students will learn about the products of the rainforest and the importance of saving our rainforests. Students will begin research on a specific animal of the rainforest.

Comprehension: We ended our nonfiction text feature unit with a text feature surgery. The students loved helping their patients! Next week we will begin a Reader's Theater unit.
