Language Arts
Reading/ Language Arts
Language Arts will focus on a book study with an emphasis on character development.
Homework: I Station
Please continue to have your child practice using I Station. If you are having difficulties or are unable to access the program; have your child read the chapter book we have checked out from the library and notify your child's reading teacher. Please remember to check for assignments in Istation!
Spelling: Students meet with their spelling teacher each Monday to learn the spelling rule. In addition, they are given a spelling menu of different activities they may choose from, it is due on Friday. The activities are each assigned a point value, and students are working to do enough choices that equal 20 points. We encourage our students to work on spelling when they have free time, or to finish it at home. On Friday's, they return to their spelling teacher to take their test. This cycle repeats each week.
Math
Abernathy- The next few weeks we will be preparing for 4th grade.
Homework- Homework pages are located in the small (thin) math book. Please, review your child's planner for their daily homework.
Delehanty-
The students will be preparing for fourth grade in the last weeks of school. Next week, our focus will be two by two-digit multiplication. We have learned how to do this with arrays and partial products. We are now going to learn the "old way" with magic zero.
There will still be a daily homework page to reinforce the new skills learned in class. Going over your child's homework is a great way to further their understanding.
Science/ Social Studies
Martinez - This week in Science we will be starting a new unit on Life Cycles of Organisms. Students will be learning that organisms in the natural world have parts, processes and patterns that interact.
Social Studies-
This week we will begin our unit on Economics. We will begin learning ways to spend, save and donate money.
