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

Dear 3rd Grade Families,

This week the students only “homework” will be to read for 15-20 minutes and do Moby Max Fact Fluency/Khan Academy for 10 to 15 minutes.

Tomorrow is the field trip to the State Railroad Museum. If you signed up to chaperone, make sure to sign into the office prior to coming to the D-6. Thanks to all of you for supporting our off-site learning. Please be sure to bring a lunch, if chaperoning, as we’ll eat in Old Sac.

Please return all Library books tomorrow, or no later than Wednesday.

Dear 3rd Grade Families,

I hope you had a relaxing break from school.

Next Monday we will begin Ch 8 in Math. Here is a link that might help you help your 3rd grader as we navigate the various lessons in the chapter. Please notice at the bottom of the page, there are helpful links for each lesson in the chapter.

Tonight, students can work on their math facts in Moby Max, or go on Khan Academy and work on their Math program. As always, they should read 20 minutes every day.
