Week of February 23rd

End of Trimester 2:  Can you believe your child is 2/3 done with 3^rd grade?  Time certainly does fly.  Thankfully God flies with us in all of our paces of life.  Hopefully you are allowing Him to be right beside you in all of your seasons.  To God Be the Glory!

• Reading: This week, we will continue with Unit 4 - Events. This unit will take a look at history and events this week through a biography.  Last week we read a story about Fredrick Douglass and took on the word abolitionist.  This week during our reading we will be identifying author’s purpose.
• Writing: Presidents have been decided upon and research has begun.  Students were given an outline in which to fill in information.  This outline should be completed.  We have begun writing our papers and have talked about introductions and conclusions.   Final reports will be completed Friday, February 28^th.  While most of the work on these is done in school, please check progress with your child so that it is completed by Friday.  Some students may benefit from outside of school time.  The report they are typing can be accessed through their St. Paul email and on their drive.
• Math: This week we continue in our 8^th Unit – Fraction Comparison and Equivalence. Lessons will include comparing fractions with the same numerator, comparing any fractions, a review day, and a fluency day.
• Spelling: Each week we seek to build on what was learned previously through some reviewing.  Our spelling routine will continue with suffixes specifically –ible, -able, -ation.  While memorizing these words is good, practicing the rule is important as well.
• Religion: We will continue our journey with the Israelites as journey through the desert.  Our lessons include God giving the law and the Golden Calf.
• Memory Work: As we follow our weekly routine, Tuesday’s memory have us working to memorize the New Testament books.  This week New Testament books of the Bible will be said through Philemon.  Thursday will be 2 Timothy 3:16 as it correlates with our Religion lessons.
• Character Development: Unit 5 – Know Your Limit.  This unit will help us recognize our feelings, understand why we are feeling that way, learn how to feel those feelings, and express them appropriately (RULE).
• Weekly Quote: Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. – 1 Peter 4:8
