3S continues keeping a "Growth Mindset" when it comes to learning.

Math
Students have been learning about fractions.  They have been comparing and contrasting fractions.  The fractions have come in all varieties:  same denominators, same numerators, different denominators and different numerators.

Language Arts
Similar to math, students have been comparing and contrasting literature.  These comparing and contrasting units have transcended to writing where the students have been expected to create in depth compare and contrast essays.

Writing
In addition to the compare and contrast essays, students have been taking the role of scholastic news writer and have been composing their own articles.  Students have also been continuing to research an inventor.  Students have been taking their opinion writing and changing the format to persuasive letters.

Reminder
Please remind students that homework needs to be completed thoroughly and neatly.  Students need to remember to write essays with proof in their ELA packets when the questions ask for text evidence.  Students have been responsible for making the corrections that they have made in their packets.
