Spelling: Our spelling pattern this week is the /th/, /wh/, and /sh/ spelling patterns.
Reading: This week we are focusing on the skill of identifying facts and opinions within the text. Our vocabulary words focus on plural endings.
Writing: We are continuing to focus on writing personal narratives. The students are practicing using strong verbs in their writing to show specific actions. The October Monthly Writing Words Test will be given on Wednesday, October 30th.
Grammar: Our focus is identifying irregular plural nouns, and spelling them correctly in sentences.
Math: We are reviewing for our unit test on measurement, which will be given Tuesday, October 29th.
Science: The students have been learning about animal and plant adaptations. They have each been assigned a partner and a biome that they are researching in the LMC. Each student will use what they have learned about their biomes to create a new plant and animal that could survive there. These projects will be completed next week.

Weekly Reminders
* There are only a few more days to practice the October writing words. Students need to know the correct spelling and meaning for words that are homonyms. Once students have been tested on these words, they will be responsible for spelling them correctly on all graded assignments and tests. Misspelled writing words will result in one lost point each.
Study Tip
As we continue to read poetry aloud this week, students are reminded that reading with good fluency does not necessarily mean reading quickly. They are working on reading with rhythm and paying close attention to the punctuation. You can ask your child to read aloud from his/her book at home to help practice his/her oral reading fluency. Of course silent reading is a valued skill in third grade too, so a good balance of both is always great!
