Due to the snow day and delay last week, we will have our reading test on Earthquake: The 1906 San Francisco Nightmare on Tuesday. We have been focusing on text features. Ask your child to show you these features (that can be found in nonfiction text or magazines) including captions, headings, photographs, maps, diagrams, and subtitles.
In math, we will continue Chapter 11 - Metric Measurement and the test will be on Friday. Then next week, we will use our abilities to convert metric measurement to solve word problems.
Reminders:
- Students need recorders by April 6th for Music. They need to be Soprano recorders. They can be bought on Amazon for about $10 or locally at Music and Arts in Manchester. If you are unable to get one, please contact myself or Miss Latham ASAP as she has a few available.
- Third grade is the year the Smarted Balanced (SBAC) assessments begins. It usually occurs towards the end of March for third graders. Here is the link to the website so you can familiarize yourself with the test. This testing is much different than NWEA (which students have been doing since K at Underhill) so we will practice the test many times beforehand. Students can also practice at home and get familiar with the structure and tools. It may be a good idea for you to see what your child is expected to be able to complete by helping them with the practice tests at home. The link to the practice tests can be found here. You do not need any usernames or passwords.
- As soon as our test dates are posted, I will be sure to post them!
