Hi Parents,
I hope you enjoyed the weekend! Spelling- We are working on sorts 28, 29 and 30 in spelling. We will focus on sort 30 this week. On March 30, a spelling quiz will be given on 20 words from the 3 different lists. Reading- This week, we will continue to touch on fables, folktales, and myths but also start reviewing our reading skills from the year in preparation of GA Milestones. Writing- We will continue to work on opinion writing while also beginning to review constructed responses, narrative writing and informational writing in preparation of GA Milestones. Grammar- We will continue working on subordinating conjunctions. A subordinating conjunction is used to link a subordinate clause (also known as a dependent clause) to the main clause (also known as an independent clause). An example is, Keep your hand on the wound until the nurse tells you to take it off. Science - We will continue our final science unit on Heat. Students will be learning about sources of heat energy, carrying out experiments using different tools including thermometers, and understanding that heat transfers from hotter to colder areas until the temperatures even out. Milestones- There are several wonderful resources available to help your child prepare for the Milestones assessment in April. Below is a link to a Milestones study guide online that explains the test and gives some sample problems. http://www.gadoe.org/Curriculum-Instruction-and-Assessment/Assessment/Documents/Milestones/Study-Resource%20Guides/Milestones_StudyGuide_GR03_11-16.pdf Our school has purchased Coach Digital which gives access to Milestones preparation materials. https://www.coachdigital.com/org/02042377 Username: This will be your child’s lunch number or the number he or she uses to login to launchpad.
