We had a productive day in
third grade today.
We started with some silent
reading or assignment completion from yesterday. Unfortunately, I have
some that feel it isn’t necessary to finish work when I am unable to be here.
In math we reviewed fractions
and money.
We went to computers today
during our reading slot. But we first heard an excerpt from one of the
Clementine books. She is one of my favorite new characters. She is a
modern day “Ramona-the-Pest.” The Clementine story is tonight’s read
aloud.
We also worked and wrote
similes today.
We took the practice reading
test today. These will be coming home with your child Thursday.
Please go over it with your child when it does. I cannot stress enough
how important it is for each child to do his or her best. I don’t want
them stressed, as I do enough of that for everyone. However, I do want
them to take it seriously and do their best. Read and reread. Go
back to the story and check your answer. Read all the directions.
These are strategies we have worked on all year.
Thank you for working with
your children at home!
