Science study guide

a science study guide was given today--test on wednesday 10/8. Also, some time this week probably thurs/Fri. there will be a math quiz on place value to the hundred thousands. A parent had an interesting comment asking for me to provide a study guide for math. I've tried that in some form or another in the past but without much sucess. Each day I give out loose leaf paper on which we practice our math skills and each day I remind the students to bring them home to show their parents what we've done. I suspect that few students actually do. SOME day we'll have a real math book and I can't wait! Thanks ag

My previous comment tonight was referring to the study guides for science and social studies since you won't for math. thanks~

An Exciting Year

Are you ready?--Ready to learn more about Math, Science, and Social Studies than you've ever learned before! Math Investigations is taught and as you may know, M.I. does not have very much homework. Grades will be given through tests and Duval County exams. Science and Social Studies will be given report card grades for the first time (instead of S/N) and a study guide will be given approx. two day before the test. It is up to the student to copy the study guide and STUDY the study guide. You can help your child in Math by practicing skip counting with them--for example 3,6,9,12...etc.
last year they should have learned to skip count by 2's, 3's, 5's, and 10's to 1,000. Now practice the 4's, 6's, 7's, 8's, and 9's.Skip counting is essential in third grade.
