Can you believe it is almost March already? February really flew by.
This week in Language Arts, we will be covering Module 5 Week 3, with the story "Brothers at Bat." Children already received the new spelling and vocab words that go with this story. Spelling words are contractions this week, so we will be working on making and using contractions. In grammar, we will be working with past, present and future tense of verbs. We will have a spelling test on Thursday and a reading test on Friday, provided all goes according to plan this week!
In religion, we will be covering Chapter 18 on the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation. We will have our test on Friday on this chapter. We will also be attending Mass virtually on Monday, in-person on Friday, and praying the Stations of the Cross as a class on Friday. A great week for liturgical experiences!
We will be continuing to work with fractions in math. This week we will focus on comparing and ordering fractions. We will have a quiz on Thursday on writing and drawing fractions, finding equivalent fractions, and comparing and ordering fractions.
We are switching from science to social studies this week. We will be wrapping up our study of ecosystems early in the week and then moving in to social studies to learn about how different cultures have impacted our country's culture. Look for a cultural recipe project (a third grade tradition!) coming home later this week.
