Reading/Language Arts

This week the third grade class is reading the informational text Technology Wins the Game by Mark Andrews. In this selection, students learned about how technology has changed over time in variety of sports such as the helmets in football and the rackets in tennis. The comprehension skill reviewed sequencing. The phonics skill covered the sound made by oi and oy. Students worked on plural nouns as the grammar skill. The vocabulary skill reviewed the suffixes -ful, -ous, and -less.

Included in the take home folder is the lesson 10 weekly assessment that was taken the week before Thanksgiving.

Also included in the take home folder are the results of the Unit 2 Benchmark assessment. Again, this is a test that assesses how well the students are applying the concepts and skills learned in lessons 6-10. The goal is to be at or above the acceptable score.
