Mrs. Greene's 3rd Grade

We Had an AMAZING Week!
We are beginning to discuss the ISTEP test that will take place in two short weeks! I explain to the students that ISTEP is like SCHOOL OLYMPICS. They have worked hard for 4 years and it's their time to "show what they know" and perform their best academic work. I also let the students know that the test isn't about just how the students are doing...it's about how Smoky Row and the teachers are doing as well. This seems to ease their nerves a bit!
If you could please try to avoid scheduling appointments for your child in the morning the week of February 27-March 3, that would be great! We test in the mornings each of these days.
Here is What Is Planned for Next Week: February 13-17
FIELD TRIP TO THE BENJAMIN HARRISON HOME is next Thursday, February 16. We will leave school at 8:30 and return at 12:30. Make sure your child eats a hearty breakfast as we will be eating much later than our normal 11:45 lunch time. Also, your child will need a sack lunch on that day. No chaperones for this trip will be needed. Thank you to those of you who have asked and volunteered to accompany us!
Reading:
We will be working a lot on reading short text passages then testing our understanding by answering comprehension questions and responding through written responses. This is challenging work!
Writing:
We are working on writing prompts. We have learned some important tips and tricks we can use when writing to a prompt. Be sure to ask your child what RUPR stands for and how it is used in prompt writing.
Social Studies:
We will finish our study of Immigration on Monday, February 13 and test on Tuesday, February 14. We had fun playing The Immigration Game. The game was a simulation that showed how immigrants long ago might have felt when they immigrated to the United States.
Math: Unit 8 - Fractions
- Fractions more than 1
- Fraction of a whole, set, # line
- Adding and subtracting fractions
The Unit 8 Math test will be given on Wednesday, February 22.
