Welcome to third grade!
Remember to study for your next spelling test.
Spelling lists vary among students, so it is important to help your child keep
the list in his or her binder.
Help your child work with these words each evening by reading,
sorting, writing, and using them in sentences.
Please make sure your third grader knows what each word means,
especially if they are working on sorts in D and sorts in E!
Our Story for the Week: "Wild Shots, They're My Life"
Can you identify the genre of the story?
Name the characters, setting, plot, and resolution of the story.
What is the author's purpose? (HINT: Think PIE!!!)
Current Reading Strategies: Predicting and Summarizing
Don't forget to "be slick and predict!"
"Be wise and summarize!"

Congratulations to the most courteous third graders, Ezelia, Abby,
