ACT Aspire Testing: The third grade will be participating in the ACT Aspire standardized testing on November 10th and the week of November 14th. This test assesses all subject areas and compares the Tonganoxie third graders to other third graders in the nation.
It is a computerized test so all students will need their earbuds for the testing dates. Our class will test in the afternoon from 1:45-3;00. Please try to schedule appointments around these times.
Third Grade Music Program: November 17th is the 3rd grade music program. Our class will be performing at 7:30. The classroom will be open at 7:15 for students to arrive and prepare for the performance. Students will need to leave coats and personal items with their families as we will not return to the classroom after the program.
No School: There will not be classes held on Friday, November 11th.
Reading & Language: In reading we will continue to work on summarizing texts and identifying the main idea with supporting details.
We will work on eliminating redundant statements in our writing and having a new idea with each detail.
Math: We will test on chapter 5 this week and will start to work on memorizing the math facts, both multiplication and division. Good old fashion practice outside of school is one of the best ways to memorize the facts. I encourage all families to work with their child. When my kiddos were little we would make it a game while we were driving in the car. It was a great way to practice and I had a captive audience!
Social Studies: This week we will take what we have learned about becoming the President of the United States and write about why each student would make a great President. It should be fun to see the platforms that the kids have for themselves. We will then continue to learn about the legislative and judicial branches of the government.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend, be safe!
