Week of: December 14, 2015

Reading and Language Arts: This week we are wrapping up our study of non-fiction text features, although we will continue to reference them throughout the year. Students are working on creating a page about a branch of government, to be compiled into multiple government books created by 3P!   **Students should be reading at least 25 minutes for homework every night!

Grammar: We are reviewing 3^rd grade writing conventions like capitals, punctuation, and complete sentences.

Writing: This week our writing is tied into Reading. Students will write what they know about a branch of government in a creative, non-fiction text way.  

Social Studies: This week we are finishing up the study of our government. We will be doing a study guide and testing on Wednesday.

Reading and Language Arts: This week we will continue to focus on nonfiction text. We will still be incorporating our Social Studies text book into Reading time, and looking for nonfiction text features within that text. **Students should be reading at least 20 minutes for homework every night!

Grammar: We will finish up working with suffixes.  

Writing: This week we will be writing about our government.  Students will continue to work on linking words and conventions (grammar, capitalization, and punctuation).

Social Studies: We will continue to learn about the three branches of government. Students are really enjoying this unit of social studies, so make sure to ask them about it! J

Math: This week our focus will be on 8’s and 7’s multiplication. We will be incorporating story problems with these as well. Students must not only solve the problem, but show HOW they got their answers.
