The spelling list your child needs to work on is attached. Continue encouraging your child’s correct spelling. These words will be recycled and checked again throughout the year.
Our goal this year at Forest Ridge is to improve students’ writing. Family writing assignment is the same as last week’s, since it was such a long one!: Write a story about what you did during your vacation. Start with a 4-square, telling about 3 separate things you did. Write an introduction to your story, then the 3 paragraphs about each of the 3 different activities. Write three detail sentences about each activity. Try to write transition sentences between your paragraphs (We’ve been working on this!) Write a concluding sentence. Writing together encourages your child to see you having fun with writing, and allows you an opportunity to spend time with your child while he/she learns. Please have your child bring the writing in by next Friday, January 16.
The first round of reading and math state assessments will be given to the third graders beginning on Friday.
We are studying astronomy in science (planets, sun, moon) and proper nutrition and digestion in health.
Students are reviewing 2-digit (second graders) and 3-digit (third graders) subtraction in math. We are also working on multiplication by studying groups of things and multiples.
Take home folders (with reading logs attached) need to be turned in on Thursday.
