Room 8 News
Mrs. Fitzgerald, 3rd Grade
April 8, 2016
We had another fabulous week! In reading we focused on identifying cause and effect relationships, as well as making inferences based on text evidence. We also continued learning about adjectives and adverbs.
In math we learned how to use the order of operations. We also learned how to write decimals as fractions, and how to round a number to the nearest ten, hundred, or thousand.
I hope you all have a wonderful and safe spring break! See you in a week!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Fitzgerald
ERB Testing Week
- Make sure you arrive to school no later than 8:15. Late students will need to wait in the office until we are done testing, and take the make-up test at a later date.
- Make sure you get plenty of sleep and eat a healthy/hearty breakfast. We will be having snack time in between testing sessions, so be sure to bring a snack.
- There is no need to study for the ERB. The best advice is to relax your mind the weekend before so you can come to school with a fresh and positive attitude.
