Week of October 10

READING:We are going to read the story "Dragon in the Rocks". We are working on vocabulary, discussing steps in a process, comprehension, using context clues, and talking about historical fiction. Keep reading nightly and record on the Reading Calendar to be turned in on Monday in the Red Folders. Remember to read for AT LEAST 15 minutes on 3 separate nights....HAPPY READING! ")

WRITING:
We continue to work on writing Weekend Reports every Monday and Squiggles every Wednesday. We are focusing on writing a complete sentence with a capital letter, a complete thought, and an endmark. We are also learning to use graphic organizers to help with our prewrites. With every sentence we write, we try to think of one good detail sentence to add to our stories.

SPELLING:
Don't forget to study your words... our test is on Wednesday. This week's words:
car              far                arm                     BONUS: Arctic Circle

If you're on a challenge list... make sure you check your agenda for the word list. All word lists are posted weekly in the agenda.

MATH:
Our math test will be on Monday of next week...over unit 2. We are also focusing on story problems and learning how to add and subtract using partial sums.  Keep watching agendas and homework folders for Homelinks to review our skills at home. I will again send a packet home in the next few days of Homelinks that we did not send home during our unit. These are to be used as practice and NOT TO BE TURNED BACK IN! :) Extra practice at home always helps...

HEALTH: (currently teaching Mrs. Stahlman's 3rd graders)
For the next 2 weeks, we will be finishing our unit on NUTRITION. The students will be learning how to make good choices with their diet, choosing healthy foods from the Food Guide Pyramid. The test over Chapter 5 will take place next THURSDAY.
