Miss Sumpter's Awesome Updates
3rd grade Class
It truly baffles me how fast time is flying. Friday will mark the end of the third nine weeks. This means we have one more nine weeks to go before the end of the school year. It seems like just yesterday, I received my babies and they will be leaving me soon. I really am trying to prepare them for fourth grade so I've been getting strict about procedures. If I take a cub cash the students now have to walk laps at recess.
Reading
Writing
WHEW! PASS WRITING IS OVER! I am so glad that this part of the PASS Test is over, the students really worked hard and no matter what the results are I am proud of them. This week will continue with our inquiry into Opinion Writing. This genre study was interrupted with PASS, I am hoping to have this finished by the end of April.
Math
Last week we started Chapter 11 in Math which is all about Measurement. In Chapter 11 we are discussing measuring capacity, mass, and time. On Friday we talked about the Metric System, with gallons, pints, quartz, and cups. Although this is not in the book I am still holding the students responsible for knowing this information. We created a gallon man to help them remember this, it should be in their take home folder. Our test on Chapter 11 should be someday next week (please check agenda),
STUDY MULTIPLICATION FACTS! - I will be giving quizzes every Friday
Science
SC History
We have started discussing the Civil War. I know that this will be a fun unit. I am hoping that the students will inquire and research SC's impact on the Civil War outside of class.
