Reading/Language Arts We continue to work in theme 9. Our spelling skill has focused on common and proper nouns. The comprehension strategy is comparing and contrasting to help us better understand our reading. We will finish theme 9 next week.
Math We are continuing our work with 2D shapes and attributes. We have worked very hard identifying attributes of different types of quadrilaterals that fit into more than one category. We will continue to work with geometry concepts next week. Your child's math fraction test has been returned and is in their home binder.
Religion Third graders presented the unit Mass this past Tuesday and did a wonderful job. Father Fred reminded us to use kind words and actions in school and at home especially during this season of Lent. We have read about Jesus' 40 days in the desert and have discussed how we need to prepare our hearts for the sacrifice Jesus made for us.
Science As we continue to learn about habitats and ecosystems, we are using the reading strategies of inferring and predicting. We will be wrapping up chapter 4 at the end of next week. The science test will be the week after we conclude the chapter.
