Happy Monday to everyone!

Spelling - This week in spelling the students will be focusing on words ending with the suffixes -tion and -sion. 

Reading - The 3rd graders will read a section of the fantasy story Charlotte's Web. In class the students will practice making inferences when reading, identifying the sequence of events, and using irregular verbs correctly in sentences.

They will also practice using a timeline. Next week, the students will be working on making a timeline of inventions in class. They will use class time to research inventions and make their timelines. This Wednesday the 3rd graders will be given a handout to help further explain this timeline project. The project will be Due Wednesday May 4.
