Here's what we are working on...
Reading - Next week, we will continue to learn about RACE ( Race stands for Restate, Answer the question, Cite evidence, Explain, Summarize) and practice this new skill. This is how they will be writing in 3rd grade for the Milestones.
Math - We will continue to practice time at the beginning of the week, and then test on Thursday of next week. A review will go home on Wednesday night before the test.
Writing - We will be finishing up our second opinion writing piece next week. After finishing the the second opinion piece, we will begin to write a fractured fairy tale.
Science - This week, we focused on the three types of energy: motion, heat, and light. Next week, we will learn about the different types of motion energy.
Grammar - We will be reviewing the word patterns that we have been learning for the third nine weeks.
Spelling/Word Study - We will test on Friday, March 4th, over the word patterns that we have already covered. There are 13 anchor words this week, but they are review and not new. The anchor words will be saw, cause, day, care, hair, part, girl, hurt, word, corn, deer, hear, and earth.
The sight words tested will be new, sound, take, only, little, work, know, place, year, live.
