Third Grade: April 20-24
If you print this out, you could use the little bullets
as a checkoff place to help you know what has been completed.
You get a break this week!! Spelling words are a review
from this whole unit. Also, a change in math. You’ll read about it below.
Make sure student is
taking AR tests. These will play a major role in grade assignments. Please
email Mrs. Shoemaker at akshoemaker@lakesidechiefs.com or call her at 334.616.2661 if you experience
problems logging on.
Open Court Reading: So You Want to Be President?
o
Review vocabulary
o
Listen to the story online
o
Pay attention to highlighted vocabulary words
while listening
o
Read the story aloud to someone
o
Read it silently
o
Workbook pages 149-150 and 151-152 are for timed
reading. I’m not a big fan of timing (I’ve read too much research about the
detrimental effects) but it’s something on grade level your child can read
aloud to you for practice.
o
Complete workbook pages 153-156. Tear out and place in envelope to return.
o
4-square sentences using one vocabulary word in
each. Remember we fold paper in fourths. One sentence goes in each box.
Sentences should start with a capital letter, end with appropriate punctuation,
have the vocabulary word spelled correctly and underlined. One vocabulary word
in each of four total sentences. Place in envelope to
return.
o
4-square sentences with spelling words. Same as
above but two spelling words in each sentence for a total of four sentences. Place in envelope to return.
o
Spelling test: if they want to write the words
in cursive after they take the test printing the words, they certainly may.
(The children are accustomed to my grading our tests immediately and are always
eager to know what they made. I’ve sent you grading scales in case you want to
do this. You certainly don’t have to. Challenge words don’t count in the
spelling grade.) Place in envelope to return.
o
No Open Court reading test
Saxon Math: In the work packet, you will find these
lessons stapled together. You will also see a packet for this week labeled
“adults only”. These are answer keys or directions I feel may help you. The
children are accustomed to my grading our facts or tests immediately and are
always eager to know what they made. I’ve sent you grading scales in case you
want to do this. You certainly don’t have to.
This week, if you would
like to skip the homework on the back of our math sheets, you may. Your
decision.

one-digit number and a two-digit number using mental computation…directions are
in your adult section…in mental math, children use different techniques. Your
child may complete differently than you would and that’s ok…as long as the
answer is accurate. It’s interesting to let them explain to you how they figure
it out.) Guided Class Practice 112A (see answer sheet), Class

Liberty’s Legacy: Unit 8,
Military. Watch videos, complete workbook pages 17-18 and the vocabulary
portion on p. 26. Don’t tear out these pages. This workbook will be returned to
me May 4 (as of today’s writing. I’m sure it’s subject to change).
Handwriting: We are basically
through with handwriting. As I’ve said before, I don’t have a copy of the
handwriting workbook. In the months before school begins next year, try to
practice cursive every once in a while. You can ask your child to write all the
capital letters. Then another day, ask them to write all the lowercase letters,
connecting each one to the next one. (They often forget to dot i’s and j’s and
cross t’s.)
Journal:
o Monday:
What would you love to invent?
o Tuesday:
What’s your favorite outfit? Describe it for me head to toe.
o Wednesday:
Would you rather see a movie, a parade, or a magic show? Why?
o Thursday:
What’s your favorite candy? Why?
o Friday:
What’s under your bed right now?
