This Week in Grade 3...

Hello, 

Here's what is going to be happening this week: 

Monday: Review division/multiplication skills for tomorrow's test
Tuesday: Math Test - Long Division; Grammar Test
Wednesday: Band Performance 
Thursday: Spelling Test - List #32
Friday: Memory Work - Psalm 51:10 


Summary of our Learning: 
We have been working super hard on long division for the past month. As a class we are very excited to finish this unit this week. In Bible we have been discussing the book of Acts and will continue to do so until the end of the school year. Science has involved a lot of hands on learning as we have been looking at the complexity of soil and how much plants do for us. We are even learning how to compost in the classroom and have been growing wheat and soybeans. In language we are currently in the research portion of our research essays.  The students have developed their writing skills during this year and I'm very excited that they have the skills to complete this final writing project.
