News from 3P

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.

Math: This week we will be finishing up our study of 6, 7, and 8. We will be testing on those facts and also on story problems. When we return from break, we will be jumping into fractions!
