HELLO
3rd Grade
🌟 Happy Weekly Update, Families! 🌟
I hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing break. We will be starting Quarter 4, the final quarter of the school year. We will continue with regular instruction for a few weeks and then begin reviewing and preparing for the FAST Reading and Math assessments.
There will be a slight change this quarter regarding spelling and vocabulary. Moving forward, spelling words and vocabulary words will be the same. Students' spelling words will come directly from the weekly story we are reading in class, helping to strengthen both their reading comprehension and word knowledge.
Attendance will be especially important during this quarter. Being at school each day helps ensure students receive the practice, review, and targeted intervention they need to feel confident and successful on their end-of-year assessments.
Thank you for your continued support.
