Congratulations! Our Dovin third grade students continue to amaze us with their improved reading skills, thanks to the Read to the Final Four reading program. They have moved on to the Sweet Sixteen (4 schools in each of the four regions) in the Read to the Final Four competition. This round will end on Sunday February 29. Remember, it is a Fulton County expectation that ALL students read for a minimum of 20 minutes each night. Students have to read for 14+ minutes at a time to earn points on MyON. They earn extra points for completing the quiz after each book they read.

Last week we focused on similes and metaphors. This week we will focus on alliteration, onomatopoeia, and hyperboles. Grammar: This week the third-grade students will be reviewing commas in a series and commas in addresses. They will be learning how to use commas and quotation marks in dialogue. There will be test on conjunctions, commas, and quotes next Tuesday. Spelling: The third-grade students will be working on lesson 26. The words are more compound words. For homework, students are to write the words in alphabetical order. This is for their practice and does not need to be turned in. Students can also practice their spelling/phonics patterns on Spelling City at https://www.spellingcity.com/users/clarkkw Writing: This week we will work on writing the body of an opinion piece of writing and adding it to the introduction. The students will respond to two articles about the same topic written from different points of view. They will include their own point of view of the passages compared to that of the author. Homework: All students are expected to read for the Final Four every night by logging into Class Link/Launchpad and logging in with their 10-digit student ID and 8-digit birthdate. They should read for a minimum of 20 minutes each night and take the quiz at the conclusion of every book they read. **I will be sending home a commas worksheet and a figurative language worksheet. This will be in your child’s purple CJ folders by tomorrow. Dates to Remember February 26 – Class pictures and individual pictures – Remember, you must pay for class pictures in advance if you want one. February 27 – Progress Skills Checklists go home. Students enrolled at Dolvin for less than 20 days will not receive one. Happy Birthday to: 2/22 – Dylan 2/23- Devin
