School's Out Check to see about school closings or have an email/text message sent to you.
Scott Foresman View the student's edition of the math and social studies text books.
June 8-12
*** End of the Year reminders***
* Text books will be collected anytime within the next couple of weeks. Be sure all textbooks are brought to school daily for collection. Report cards will not be sent to anyone with a book obligation.
* The reading resource teachers are interested in seeing where students/families have traveled this summer. While you are out enjoying vacation time, pick up a postcard, write a message on the back (perhaps saying what you did at that location or what your favorite part of the vacation was) and mail it back to the school. All postcards will be put up in the hallway so when students return next school year we can see all the places that Pointer Ridge students have visited. (Pointer Ridge Elementary: 1110 Parkington Lane, Bowie, MD 20716)
Reading/Writing: We will begin our next and final selection for the year titled Poppa's New Pants. We will use our predict/infer reading strategy and practice drawing conclusions. Our spelling words (final list) will have the a and be beginnings. The final spelling test will be on Monday 6/15. There is only one list of words. For grammar, we will compare with adjectives and learn to use good and well appropriately. We will continue to work on our persuasive essays which will be completed in class. We will also work on antonyms. Students should be familiar with synonyms and antonyms as well as how to use/know what is a thesaurus by the end of school year. These are skills that can be reinforced over summer break so they are better prepared for 4th grade.
Math: For the remainder of the school year, each class will review all skills taught in third grade. Nightly homework will be to practice facts and individual teachers will assign classwork/homework as appropriate for their class. Please be sure to check your child's assignment book for any additions to the homework schedule as per your child's teacher.
Science: In science, for the remainder of the school year, we will review all skills/lessons taught in third grade. Classwork and homework will be left up to the teacher's choice. Please check your child's assignment book for any additions to the homework schedule as per your child's teacher.
Social Studies: We will learn about the branches of government as well as the roles each branch has. We will create government mobiles. In order to do this, each child should bring in 1 coat hanger (wire or plastic is fine) on Wednesday.
Health: We will review all content learned this year.
