Eva and Delaney headed to Ci Ci's today for raising at least $300 in the Read Books 2 Raise Bucks fundraiser. Looks like they had fun!! 

Science Review Links

These two links are good to use as a review for the science test on Friday. They know how to use Quizlet, but I haven't showed them Study Stack yet.

Field Study Fees
Ten dollars has been added to your Parent Portal Account to cover the speakers we will have this year as well as a field trip to the State Museum. The normal cost is $20, but PTO is covering half of all the 3rd graders' fees with funds from the fundraiser!! The 3rd grade team will send home a letter soon explaining what the $10 covers. You can pay it in Parent Portal. 

Curriculum

Math- We continue working in Module 1 on Multiplication and Division. The students will have a quiz over lessons 11-13 on Tuesday. 

Language Arts- We continue working with nonfiction and examining the different text features of this genre.  We will also focus on making connections to texts and synonyms. The students will take a District Writing Assessment on Monday. For this assessment students will read a passage and answer a prompt that goes with the passage. It will involve them having to analyze the text. 

Science- We will wrap up the Grasslands with a test on Friday. Please look for a study buddy to come home next week that lists what the students need to know for this test. They can use their composition notebooks, science book and any papers behind science in their binder.

Social Studies- We continue talking about the regions in South Carolina. The students will work on a Regions Performance Task in class that will be graded.

A Look Ahead

Book Fair
The book fair is next week. We previewed it today as a class this afternoon. We will go to the book fair as a class on Thursday so students can purchase books.

Disability Training

Each year 3rd graders participate in disability awareness training. The training involves each student rotations through stations that stimulate various disabilities. Take a look below...

Curriculum

Math- We continue working in Module 1 on Multiplication and Division. We have focused on the facts 2,3 and 5 in this module using division and multiplication. If you have multiplication flashcards at home it would be a good idea for them to start "testing" themselves to see how fast they know the answers. 

Language Arts- We will focus on nonfiction texts, text features, and suffixes. We will read Earth Smart from our reading book as well as other nonfiction material. 

Science-We continue learning about different habitats. (animal adaptations, food chains, characteristics of each habitat) We will also discuss process skills (classify, predict, infer, observe).

Social Studies- We will continue to discuss the regions in South Carolina and the different physical and human features of each.
