Week of September 8-12


Thank you to all those parents who attended our Curriculum Night. I hope it was informative. If you ever have a question or comment for me, please let me know!
We are truly getting into our 3rd grade curriculum and are starting quizzes and tests very soon. Watch the blog for news in each subject!   
Spelling: Second lesson of the year (Lesson 3)  The pretest will be on Monday and the final test will be on Friday. If your child gets 0, 1, or 2 wrong they will be challenge and have two activities. If they get more than do they will have the regular work. All homework is due on Friday.
ELA:  This week, we’ll get to know Ivan, a mighty silverback gorilla.   We’ll be
starting our anchor text, The One and Only Ivan.  

We have started our English lesson on “The Sentence”. The workbook will be coming home if the students have homework. Each lesson was pretested and some students will be “challenge” for certain lessons. You will see a (CH) in their assignment books if they are. The unit 1 test is scheduled for September 17th.
Social Studies:  We'll continue our focus on directions and the compass
rose this week.  There will be a short quiz on 9/11.
Science: We'll start our first unit on ecosystems (Chapter 4) this
week.
Math Class:  We should be determining your
child’s math teacher very soon!  In the meantime, our homeroom has been
working on the “Math Minute” and several of the Mathematical Practices.
Important Dates:

9/13 - Center Cass Community Day

9/25 - Early Dismissal
