Reading/Language Arts

This week students are reading Life on the Ice by Susan E. Goodman. In this informational text, students learn about the extreme conditions at the Arctic and Antarctica.  The comprehension skill focused on identifying main ideas and supporting details. Students worked on compound words at the phonics skill. The class learned about adverbs as the grammar skill. The vocabulary skill reviewed dictionary skills.

The results of the lesson 19 weekly assessment have been included in the take home folder.

The third graders will take the Unit 4 Benchmark Test next week. The class will not be getting into the textbook or having spelling.   

Science

The third grade class continues to learn about weather. Students have studied weather maps.
