social studies study guide

on tuesday the students will get a Social Studies study guide-- test on thursday. We have been reviewing area, turns, flips, slides, multiplication, and division for the upcoming Formative county test, which by the way should be in but is not yetinthe school. We have reviewed the test three times now and will continue until it comes in. Parents, I welcome your comments but be aware that a blog is really meant as a one way communication vehicle, so please don't be offended if I don't reply or respond to your comments. I heard a rumor that the school board is going to re-adopt the Math Investigations series for another 6 or 7 years. For parents that want to be part of their child's educational process, Math Investigations is prohibitive. you may want to express your opinions to the proper powers. Thanks. AG

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.
