3rd Grade Overview

January 31. 2012

BIBLE: Psalm 23:1-3 - "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake." Verse test will be on Thurs., 2/16.

MATH: We are working on making change for a dollar, reading and writing 5-digit numbers and writing in expanded form. Students need to continue practicing multiplication facts as this will help with division.

READING:

Mrs. Hodgkins’ class: Character

Miss Robinson’s class: Plot
