This week in reading our class will be finishing our writing unit for English.   The skills involved with this unit were paragraph writing, finding topic sentences with supporting details, and sequencing.  The class will also start the non-fiction novel, The Diary of Anne Frank.  We will work on comprehension along with reviewing the parts of speech, contractions, synonyms, antonyms, and homophones.

My Math class this week is working on our fraction unit.  This is a big unit for 3rd grade and may take some time.  Here are a few other concepts we will be working on as well:
