There is nothing like a four day weekend to re-charge the batteries and help to prepare for another great week of learning. I trust everyone had a terrific weekend of fun and relaxation in the lovely San Diego sunshine. I know I did.
Here is this week's Curriculum Update. Please note that I moved last week's Social Studies Chapter 7 Test to this Wednesday. I just felt with three tests in Religion, Science and Spelling, adding one more was just too much. Please be sure to review the Chapter 7 lessons with your third grader. Thank you!
Curriculum Update for the Week of February 17, 2014:
Religion: Continue Chapter 12- God calls people to be holy; Introduce the terms: poverty, chastity and obedience; Chapter 12 Quiz on Friday
Math: Word problems with Extra or hidden information; Write first step questions for 2 step problems; Solve two step word problems; Equations and 2 step word problems
Reading: Whole group: Read, discuss and complete comprehension activities for a Winter Games selection; Guided Reading Group 1: Continue to read and discuss Because of Winn Dixie- chapters 9-13; Guided Reading Group 2: Begin to read and discuss Peter Pan- chapters 1-5 (I cannot wait to read this with my third graders. It is one of my all time favorite stories with great imagination)
