Classroom Chatter
Thank you to the many of you the ordered Scholastic books! I will send them home with your child as soon as they arrive! Book orders for October will come home in the beginning of the month. I usually send order forms home every month!
Spelling
Lesson 4's words are spelled with a vowel-consonant e pattern. There will be a pretest Monday and the test on Friday. Homework will be due on Friday.
Reading
Now we will start to put the reading strategies we have learned to great use while reading various types of literature. We will always be reviewing/using all of the strategies, but for the coming weeks we will highly focus on the strategies of sequencing and summarizing. The students will use basal reading stories, supplemental short stories, and possibly novels to extend their practice of understanding what they read. As a third grade we are really highlighting oral and written responses to what was read and will integrate this throughout.
English
We will continue with unit 1. We will continue practicing finding the subject of the sentence. We also will work on locating the predicate of the sentence. Check out this song, Mr. Morton, that we sang to help us learn about the subject and predicate of the sentence. Click HERE.
Science
This week we will study lesson 2, What Are Some Types of Ecosystems.
Social Studies
We will take a quiz on the 7 continents and 5 oceans on Thursday. A study guide is in the social studies folder. Your child does not need to know how to spell the names. There will be a word bank. They will be expected to spell them correctly since there is a word bank for them to use. Click HERE to play the Continents Song we sang in class! ;)
Mrs. Csorba's Math Class
We will take a mad minute in subtraction. Students will need to answer 40 subtraction problems in 2 minutes time. We will also spend this week finish up chapter 1. I plan on giving the 2nd CYP next Monday, 9/26. We will play a review game on 9/27. The test for Chapter 1 will be Wednesday 9/28.
