Below, you will see what your scholars will be doing this coming week:
In Language Arts this week, we will be finishing up with Pinocchio. Our final quiz on Pinocchio will be Monday, December 15th. Monday, December 15th is also the same day that the Final Marionette Project is due. Please be sure that this is turned in on time. In Spalding, we will have thirty words again this week with a test on Friday. We will also be continuing our study of summarizing in our writing program and sentence diagramming in our grammar program. Our idiom is "when in Rome, do as the Romans do". For our poem this week, the entire third grade will be learning sections of the "Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears" speech from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.
In Math, we will be finishing up our focus of multiplying and dividing by 9's. We will be testing this on Wednesday and then be having a complete and in-depth review of multiplication and division.
In History, we will be continuing our study of Ancient Rome. This week our focus will be on the architecture and the famous gladiators. Also, a reminder that Rome Day is on Friday, December 12th. If you have signed up to bring in items or volunteer, please know that your assistance and presence in the classroom is greatly appreciated. I know that the students are very excited about this celebration of Roman culture. I cannot wait to see them in their togas!
In Science, we will be finishing up or study of the bones and muscles on Monday with a fun in-class activity. For the rest of the week, our focus will be on the nervous system of the human body.
Have a wonderful week, everyone!
