Week 24
“The secret of getting ahead, is getting started.” – Mark Twain
It’s Read Across America Week, and we are reading in third grade! In addition to some extra reading time in the classroom, the students will be doing something special in Library.
Math
We are finishing up our first chapter on fractions. We will be having a test on chapter 8 on Thursday. Each day this week the children will have pages in their review packet to complete instead of fluency pages.

We are having only spelling, comprehension, vocabulary and grammar ELA tests on Friday.
