Read about the 3rd Grade Writing Objectives.  SpellingWe would appreciate parents checking that the spelling homework is completed. If you have any questions please contact your child’s teacher. We are in full swing of our new spelling and word work programs! The students have differentiated spelling lists based on the numerous pre-assessments we gave in September. We are currently running our program as a two-week cycle. One week we have spelling and the next week we do word work. Research says that students progress through stages in their spelling development. Students were grouped according to the spelling stage they are currently struggling with and every other week we complete word sort activities that require the students to identify patterns in words and to find and sort additional words that fit that spelling/sound/meaning pattern. We are very excited that the students are working at levels that are most meaningful to them, and we can’t wait to watch their improvement this year! If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us!  ScienceWe will wrap up our study of plant growth and development in early-to mid-November, when we pollinate our flowers with dried bees! As a culminating homework activity, each student will create a model of a flower, using materials found at hone. Our next science unit is Crime Scene Chemistry, during which we will investigate fingerprinting and paper chromatography.  Social StudiesIn social studies students are still learning how economic resources and geographic characteristics are classified. We are also currently focusing on our communities and defining our neighborhood through geography and economics. Students will continue identifying geographic characteristics and human-made features. We are continuing to learn about human, natural, and capital resources and the production process.
Learning Skills and Behaviors We will be sending home a progress report once a quarter that will outline how your child is currently performing on their learning skills. Those skills include: returning completed homework, completing class work, participating in learning tasks, using feedback to improve learning, cooperating with others, following oral and written directions, and exercising self control. We know they will do a fabulous job!  Field TripsWe have a Mad Science field trip scheduled for Friday, November 13th, 2009. This is an in-school field trip so we will not be needing chaperones. Please keep on the lookout for the permission slips and money form coming home soon!
