Week of March 24th-28th

Welcome Back!  We hope everyone had an enjoyable spring break! We have just 3 weeks until the FCAT. Please make sure your child is at school everyday. We are completing final reviews and activities to help students succeed on the FCAT.

ELA: For the next three weeks, we will be reviewing all of our third grade reading standards in preparation for the FCAT. Students may come home with a passage and questions to complete on some days and this can certainly count toward daily reading on the RAH log. Please encourage your child to complete i-Ready and FCAT Explorer lessons at home. They are an excellent review! Links are below...



Math: We will discuss time to the nearest minute, quarter hour, and half hour.  We will also talk about elapsed time- for example: John goes to soccer practice at 3:00, practice lasts until 5:30, how much time is John at soccer practice?  We will use vocabulary to describe time: quarter til, half past, quarter after, fifteen minutes after, etc.  Please encourage the use of this vocabulary.



Science:  We will discuss gravity and the effect it has on the Earth.  We will have a test on Chapter 2 soon.
