IRI Week....Read Like a Cheetah Runs


Important Dates:
Monday September 12, 2011: Third Grade IRI
Monday September 12, 2011: Grandparents' Day
Monday September 12, 2011: PLC---Early Release
Friday September 16, 2011: Constitution Day


Language:
Our story of the week is called Cliff Hanger by Jean Craighead George. The setting takes place in Idaho--in the beautiful Teton Mountains. This story is REALISTIC FICTION. This means it really could have happened. Get ready to learn some cool "climbing words" and start on our first reading adventure of the year.

Spelling Words:


  • mix

  • milk

  • last

  • smell

  • head

  • friend

  • class

  • left

  • thick

  • send

  • thin

  • stick

Study the words hard this week. Listen to each sound. We will also be studying sentences. What parts does a sentence need in order to be a sentence? Some of you already know the answer to this because you learned it in First and Second Grade.


Math:


For the next week, we will continue to review strategies for addition and subtraction of numbers to 20. We will use our Math notebooks. Don't forget to skip a space between each number or problem. Work neatly and PLEASE include your name on your paper.


Science:


We hope you have enjoyed your Science lessons at the end of every day. Learning about space, the earth, the moon, and the sun can be a lot of fun. We hope to provide more experiments and in-class participation so we can really learn the concepts.


HAVE A GREAT WEEK: Headmaster Graham and Headmaster Shore


Question of the Week: In our "Mountain Language" we have been learning all sorts of different language skills. Please do the following:
