LITERACY

Students continue to learn about Nouns. We have been paying attention to Proper Nouns and common nouns and identifying them correctly. We have also been using them in sentences. Teacher explored writing sentences with students this week: Students were required to make sentences with the two words taken from the books being read, sentences had to include a common noun or a proper noun.

Next week we will look at singular and plural nouns.

We continue to practice writing stories (personal narratives). We go through ideas and steps as a group to aid in constructing stories.

Students will be tested on the following skills:

1. Knowing the place and value of digits in numbers.
2. Writing numbers in expanded, standard and word form

Students can log onto mathgames.com and select games, then select the topics we have done which will then generate games in that skill to help with revision.

I am sending home the worksheets we used in class for extra revision if the student needs it, but we have done a lot of preparation during this week.

SCIENCE: students will be tested on the investigative process of science. Worksheets that we have done in class will be sent home for extra revision.

Grade 1 – 6 will be doing TerraNova testing from the 5 – 9th of May.  These are standardized tests that are put out by ACSI in the USA.  Children will complete a variety of English and Math tests as well as a Science, Bible and Thinking Skill test.  Much of this content will have been taught during this Grade 3 year.  However, because they are being assessed on a year’s worth of work, it is important that the students take time to review for these tests.  The student’s in Grade 3 will be coming home with a practice Math and English test to complete during their Spring break.  These tests will be marked when they get back to school on the 28th of April.  I have also found some excellent websites with online practice tests, quizzes or games to further help the children in the revision process.  There will also be more in class revision from April 28th – May 3rd, the week before the TerraNova testing.

I know the student’s have all done really well with tackling the new concepts in Grade 3 and I look forward to seeing them put in their best effort when reviewing and completing these tests.  Hard work gets results!

 

Here are some helpful links for student’s to practice for standardized tests.
