Reading grades 3/4  - AR required points for 3rd  quarter is 15 point.  3 points in nonfiction, 3 points Native American, and 9 points fiction.
This week we will be finishing up our non-fiction novel, Marco Polo.  We will be creating character maps in class.  We will also be working with who, what, when ,why ,where, and how within the book.  This is an AR novel and can be tested on when we are finished for part of the 3 points needed for non-fiction.
Math 3rd grade
We are still working on multiplication with 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7, and 10.  The flash cards will still be coming home nightly to help your child memorize these facts.  Please go over these flashcards, then sign and date the parent sheet.  This week we are finishing MAPS testing during our math time.  We have also started a group project that involves many math concepts.  The students will be creating a city and are directed to make certain shapes, lines, areas, perimeter, and etc…for their city.  It has been a lot of fun.

Social Studies 3rd and 4th grade  We are learning about different regions of the United States.  We are creating a book that contains information about the different region and states.  Students should not have homework.  They are given time in class to do their assignment.  If they do have homework it is because they did not finish it in class.  Please check your child's planner nightly.
