IAR Testing Schedule: Students will be completing the IAR assessment for the first time. Students will complete two ELA tests and three math tests (one test each day).

Math

This week, we will continue module 5- fractions! We will focus on explaining equivalence by manipulating units and comparing fractions with the same numerator using pictures and fraction models. Students will not have homework on nights prior to IAR testing. We will be taking our END OF MODULE 5 assessment on Friday 3/21. On Thursday night (our only mandatory homework night), students will have a review that will prepare them for the test.

 

Zearn: Students will always be one lesson ahead on Zearn. This means that on Friday, students already completed module 1 lesson 1. This is in an effort to frontload information and increase student confidence in math. Students will be provided with time to complete Zearn in the classroom each day, however if they do not finish the assigned lesson they will need to finish at home.

 

Need help with homework? Search "Eureka Math, third grade, module 1 lesson ___" on YouTube :) Each day in class, we will be completing a portion (or all) of the problem set. Students are responsible for completing the corresponding homework pages for our daily lesson on Monday through Thursday each week. Please make sure your child is putting their workbook right back in their backpack after completing their homework. You will find all homework assignments written in their planner and on our class webpage.
