Week of March 17

Dear 3rd Grade Families:

The Ch 10 Math Test is this Monday (3/17). We completed the practice test in class. Students should look over their lessons (only four of them!) before then.

There will not be Spelling or Vocabulary next week. I want to go over some comprehension skills (cause and effect).

In Writing we are working on our first drafts of an informative essay on tornadoes. They read two articles and are citing information from those pieces to write their own informative article.

We are also working on identifying and writing compound, complex and simple sentences.

Have a great weekend!

Mr. Stults
