Math:

This is it......this is it.....The last ISAT is this Thursday. We feel our students are so prepared for the Math portion of the ISAT testing. We work on it so hard all year long. And we have some amazing Math students in our class. This next week will be a review week for many important curricular areas in math. After ISAT we will review addition/subtraction, rounding, regrouping, multiplication, and measurements.

Science:

Our last Unit of Study will be The Amazon Rain Forest and Life Cycles of Living Things. These last two subjects are two of the most memorable activities we do in the 3rd grade.

Questions of the Week for anyone who wants to post their answer:

How many teeth does an Adult have (if all of their teeth were there?)

What is the order of Math Operations we learned in class?
