Ms. Zurales' 3rd Grade News
September 7, 2018
ELA We will begin a unit on Folktales: Fairy-tales, Fables, and Myths. Students will recount stories and determine the central message, lesson, or moral and explain how it is conveyed through key details in the text. Also, we will focus on character traits and context clues. We will write our final copy of our 5 paragraph essay about our Me Bags. Students will also be reading their papers and presenting their bags to the class.
Please remember to keep track of your child’s reading (20 minutes, 20 days) on their blue reading log they brought home. They can turn it in on or before October 1.
Spelling Your child's spelling sort will come home on Monday. Students are being asked to choose 3 activities, one from each column, on the Spelling Homework Menu. This will help them master their spelling words. All 3 activities should be stapled to the Spelling Homework Menu and the square initialed by a parent. It should be turned in on Friday, September 21, which is the day of the test. The test will include 15 words from the student's list (teacher's choice) and 2 sentences, using any of their 2 words.
Social Studies We will be learning about the 7 continents and the 5 oceans. By the end of this unit, students will be able to locate the 7 continents and 5 oceans.
Math There will be a short checkpoint quiz covering addition and subtraction, on Wednesday. This week we’ll be focusing on length, which will include a fun scavenger hunt.
