Language Arts We are focusing on

Spelling We will be using the regular 3rd grade spelling list for all students this semester. We will also have 5 "bonus words" each week taken from the Wordly Wise vocabulary unit. Each student will get a list of the regular and bonus words on Monday of each week. The test will be on Friday of each week which will include sentence dictation to quiz basic language skills. Some words will be given in list form, others will be incorporated into sentences. Capitalization, understanding (leaving words out of the sentence) and Punctuation are graded along with Spelling.

Homework



**Read 30 minutes every night.**

Do Social Studies homework as assigned.
Reading

Third grade knows about Tall Tales and summarizing, Here are some resources so you can explore.

 * Read some Tall Tales, Fairy Tales, Folktales, and Legends online at @http://www.aaronshep.com/stories/index.html

Vocabulary ==We use the Wordly Wise book and work with a unit for two weeks. At the end of the two weeks, we have a test on the words and their meanings. The Wordly Wise website [|Wordly Wise] includes free flash cards and games. There is also a free app you can download to practice on your iPad.==

Book Bags ==Remember, every child should be reading 30 minutes everyday. Your child will be given a book bag that will contain books from our leveled classroom libraries and the school library. Please make sure your child uses the bag to transport their books safely between the classroom and home and brings the book bag every day.==

Classroom Library In addition to access the the Kolter Library, students will also have access to the classroom library.
