Reading/Language Arts
Students read the biography "Young Thomas Edison" in class this week. The class learned facts about Edison's life beginning at an early age. The comprehension skill focused on main idea and supporting details. The vocabulary strategy focused on the shades of meaning between words and phrases. In grammar students learned about subject and object pronouns. The phonics skill covered words with -au, aw, al, and o that have a sound as in talk.
During the week of November 9th-November 13th, third grade will be taking the Unit 2 test. Students will be taking the "Reading and Analyzing" and "Revising and Editing" sections of the test. The class will not be moving ahead in the reading series. There will be no spelling next week. Third grade will also begin a Thanksgiving writing unit.
