Religion: Next week we will be talking about the Ascension of Jesus. Also, because May is the month of Mary, we will be starting to do weekly prayer services with the Rosary. We will focus on the Glorious Mysteries. On Monday the students will do the first two decades of the Rosary at 9:00 in the church.
Writing: This week we focused on compound verbs with our Mentor Sentence. We have been listening and studying different types of poems. The third graders are also starting to create their own poems.
Math: Unit 9 wraps up next week. The students have been doing a nice job of using their strategies to complete problems with multiplication. We will have our main review for this on Monday, and also a small review on Tuesday so the students can watch the CHORO concert that morning. The test over this unit will be on Wednesday, May 9. The next unit will focus on data and probability. 
Spelling: Week 27 R-Controlled Vowel Review/ Words with Multiple Affixes
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.
Comprehension: This week we started a unit on Readers Theater. We are focusing on telling a story with just our voice. This is a great way to practice our fluency.
