As you can see all testing will be done before lunch. Our specials for the week, along with math instruction has been changed to the afternoon.
Please make sure your student gets a good night's sleep and eats a healthy breakfast each day of testing. Don't worry, every year, after the first session the students are relieved to know - they do know this stuff!!
Spelling: This week the students do not have spelling words. The next pretest for unit 21 will be on Friday, March 8.
Writing: We will continue our "Oregon Trail Journal Writing". To go along with our social studies unit on Westward Movement, the students will be keeping a journal of their trail experiences. In addition, the students will be writing responses to reading passages.
Social Studies: "Oregon or Bust!" This week the students will continue heading West and traveling on the Oregon Trail! The students will be playing an Oregon Trail game where they roll dice to determine the hardships and tragedies they will encounter during their 2,000 mile, six-month journey West. The students love playing the game and learning about how the pioneers endured the difficult journey for a better life.
Math:
Third Grade Math- Third grade math has moved into unit 5 which focuses on fractions.
Students will be learning that fractions are parts of a whole and many things can be divided into fractions. Students will be expected to identify fractional parts of a whole, fractional parts of a number on number line, and fractional parts of a set of objects.
Vocabulary - fraction, numerator, denominator, equivalent
Accelerated Math- We are beginning unit 6, which focuses on division and angles. We will start with division by teaching the traditional long division method and the partial quotients method. Then we will review the relationship between multiplication and division to solve more word problems.
Vocabulary - dividend, divisor, factor, quotient
