ELA:Wow! We took our mid-year level set assessments in Achieve3000 this week. Students took it very seriously and did very well! I am so proud of their increases in their Lexile levels! Awesome! Their articles will now be at their new Lexile levels. Students are encouraged do complete 1-2 Achieve articles each week at home. Please record them on the RAH log for reading at home that day.
We have resumed our spelling texts each week. The lists reflect third grade spelling patterns and language concepts such as plural nouns, irregular verbs, and base words with prefixes and suffixes.
In class, we are continuing to work on our Freaky Frog Trading Card performance task. Students are using information from multiple sources to share what they have researched about a specific frog species. They are quite the experts!
Math:
This week in math the students will begin to understand area
(the amount of two-dimensional space in a bounded region) as an attribute of
plane figures. They will decompose and
recompose shapes to compare areas. The
students will model filling in a shape with centimeter and inch unit squares as
a strategy to measure area.
