Class Updates

I thought I would take this blog post to update you on a few things happening in our classroom.

Spelling
    We have now had two weeks of our spelling routines. Every Monday, students will take a pretest over 10 words that fit a certain pattern. Based on their score on this pretest, students are given either list A or list B. These lists contain 10 new words that also fit the pattern. Throughout the week, students learn about the patterns and complete various activities using their words. On Fridays, they are given a test over their ten words and then five new words. Those tests will come home Monday along with the new list for the week. Since it is a short week, we will not do spelling this week. We will use this time to practice how to write in complete sentences. 

Brown Bag
    In case you missed it in the newsletter a couple of weeks ago, we will be having a brown bag lunch in our classroom on Friday, October 17th. Our lunch is from 12:55-1:20.  Feel free to bring your third grader lunch or you can purchase the school lunch. 

Please let me know if you have any questions!
