Monday News

Dear Families,

Two weeks until Thanksgiving vacation and we have a lot to pack in!

Science – Our geology unit has two parts.  We will finish up erosion, weathering, deposition and stream tables. We will learn about rocks and minerals after Thanksgiving break.

Word Study – Some of the spelling groups are learning the 1-1-1 doubling up rule in spelling. A word with 1 syllable, 1 vowel, and 1 final consonant gets a doubled ending consonant when adding a suffix.

Writing – We are working on opinion writing. We are using OREO to help us remember how to write a persuasive essay paragraph.

O-opinion, R-reason, E-evidence, O-restate opinion

Math – Third graders have started a data unit.

Reading – I will be progress monitoring students this week to get an accurate reading level and to make sure students are making progress.

Homework is sent home on Mondays and should be finished by Friday.

Don’t forget-Scholastic Book Fair is the week of November 16th!

Enjoy your week,

Mrs. Carter
