This week we will wrap up Unit 2 in our reading series and take the Unit 2 test on Friday. The spelling focus is the sounds of ow as in grown and clown. In language students have been focused on common and proper nouns. A test will be given on Wednesday.
I will also be administering some assessments to see students' improvements from the beginning of the year. This week we will retake the NWEA and third grade placement test. Over the next two weeks I will readminister the DRA test.
We have also finished our study of the Narrative standard in writing and will be moving onto the Functional or How to writing standard.
Be sure your child is still reading every night for homework. Reading logs are collected and graded as part of the reading grade weekly.
The winter party will be next Friday. I will send home a note within the next couple of days. 21 shopping days until Christmas!! : )
