Quarter 1 Week 2:
Thank you for a wonderful start to the year! We had a great time in 3A last week. Let's keep it up this week! Parents please continue signing the planner every night!

Language Arts:
We dove straight into the content last week and I am excited to present more rigorous material in the weeks to come. The children will be assigned their first third-grade poem to memorize on Wednesday. They will have two weeks to memorize the poem and will be reciting it before the class on August 30th. Our poem is “The Bee” by Isaac Watts. We began Pinocchio last week and will continue onward with our adventures. We are using the story to practice textual evidence, dictionary and thesaurus skills. For Spalding, we will begin writing in our blue notebooks and there will be an assessment on phonograms 1-70 Friday. In grammar and writing we will continue our study of nouns and verbs and extend that knowledge with diagramming.

Math:
Last week, we began third grade mathematics with a study of place value. We will continue that pursuit through rounding and estimating to the nearest thousand. There will be a short quiz on Wednesday as well as a review, and a unit test on Thursday.

Science:
We began last week with our Unit on Animal Classification, particularly Vertebrates and Invertebrates. This week the scholars will have a chance to present the Reader’s Theater skits they have been preparing in small groups about Vertebrates and Invertebrates. We look forward to seeing the creativity that the scholars put into their skit to go along with the content! We will end our week by learning about reptiles and certain features of reptiles.

History:
This week in history we are learning about the Cardinal Directions and Intermediate Directions! We will also have a quiz on Monday reviewing the continents and oceans that we learned about last week. Try to play games with them at home to help them learn their directions!

French:
Bonjour!

Madame Gebara kindly requested for us to let you know that the students need to bring their French Activity Book (level 2) to school. It is found at Barnes and Noble:
Les Loustics level 2  cahier d’activités
Hachette
Français Langue Etrangère

Planet Project Update

Hello Families! Today was research day for our planet project and the students had a little over an hour to research information about their assigned planet. Many scholars were able to find plenty of information and fill up the research sheet, however there are also many scholars that could benefit from some additional help. We will be using this information to write an essay later this week, so it is important that they have enough information written on their research sheet. We used these websites: National Geographic and  Nasa . If you are able, help your student to peruse these sites for details about their assigned planet and fill in the information on their research sheet. Thank you so much for your support! Please feel free to reach out with any questions Mrs. Arnold LArnold@ArchwayArete.org
