I cannot believe we are in the final stretch of the 2015-2016 school year. We will be working hard this week to review strategies students have learned in both reading and math as we prepare to take the reading EOG on Thursday of this week and the math EOG on Friday of this week.
READING - I have some cute videos I will be showing students this week to help them relax and prepare for testing at the end of the week. I will be reviewing our PARTY TIME reading strategy.
P = Preview the text. A = Analyze the questions. R = Read carefully. T = Toss the trash (answer choices that do not make sense). Y = Yellow highlight or underline evidence for your answer. TIME to check over your work.
WRITING - Students are continuing to write a report on the current event they have been assigned. Last week we worked on how to write a topic sentence to introduce the event. This week, students will write the facts from the article in their own words including correct punctuation and capitalization. They will also be taught how to conclude their reports.
SOCIAL STUDIES - In Mr. Otto's class, students have been working on an informative poster to help them learn about the organizational structure of our government.
MATH - Each third grade teacher is reviewing a specific standard in our third grade math curriculum. Students will be rotating among the teachers to review the various standards. This gives them an opportunity to work with the different teachers and spices up our review a bit.
