What's Happening in 3B This Week?
Language Arts
- In reading we will read the books "I Wanna Iguana", "Three Stories You can Read to Your Cat", and "Three Stories You Can Read to Your Dog". We will focus on what good reader's do when they read, and how to choose the right book to read (not too easy, not too hard, just right).

- In writing students will be very busy learning how to write a friendly letter (including the 5 parts of a letter), how to write different types of sentences, and how to write with great ideas.
- World Wall Information - Every week students will have a word wall test. The test will include the new words of the week, and the previous words learned in class. Also, I will assess the grammar skills learned in class. In your child's homework folder you will find a portable word wall with all the words the students have studied. They should know how to spell them. Every week, your child will add the new words to their portable word wall, so please don't remove it from the homework folder. The first word wall words are: I, you, about, me, and the.
