What We Are Learning
3rd Grade
This week the spelling focus is on words with the vowel digraphs ow and ou. We completed the last Wordly Wise lesson and will spend the remainder of the year reviewing the 150 words we learned! In Progress, we are working on the 3-day Performance Task, which will assess all of the reading skills we have learned in 3rd grade so far. In celebration of Women's History Month, the scholars are reading ReadWorks articles about important women in early American history. We finished Charlotte's Web and will begin Charlie and the Chocolate Factory soon.
