This week the class will be taking the ACT Aspire testing. This is a nationally normed test that will measure and compare our third graders to other third graders across the country. Students will be taking tests in math, reading, science, writing and english. We will test everyday this week except Wednesday, and Monday of next week. Our class will test from 9-10 each morning. Please make sure your child has a good breakfast and a restful night sleep.
The music program will also be this week. Our scheduled time to perform will be at 7:30 Thursday evening. Our classroom doors will open at 7:15 for students to come down and prepare for the performance. Please keep all coats and personal items upstairs with families as we will not be returning to our classroom after the performance.
In math this week we will continue to work on multiplication and division strategies for the numbers 5 and 10. Reading comprehension will focus on sequencing non-fiction texts and comparing texts. We will also be reviewing the oy/oi phonics patterns and learning about plural nouns changing y to i and adding -ies as well as irregular spellings. We have a busy week ahead of us. As always, if you have any concerns or questions please feel free to send a note, or drop me an email. I will get back with you as soon as possible.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
