Social Studies study guide: Just a reminder that your child's social studies study guide is due Wednesday, September 11. The children will take the unit test in two parts - they will have a vocabulary test September 12 (on the vocabulary words in their fact file, which are the same words on the study guide) and they will have a unit test September 13. In order to be successful on this unit assessment, students will need to review the study guide, chapter one in their book, as well as all items in their fact file. They will need to know how to label a South Carolina map with the regions, river systems, fall line, and bordering states and ocean. They will not need to memorize the major cities' exact locations, but should be comfortable with where they are in our state. Please know as the year goes on, that the students will be asked to be responsible for knowing what to study, but since it is their first BIG third grade test, I wanted to give you a bit of guidance. Also, please note: Students must return their textbook and fact file each day. Please make sure your child does not leave these resources at home! The fact file will be turned in the day of the unit test for a grade.

Communication folders: Please be sure to initial the communication log in your child's communication folder- just once each week, after reviewing the graded work with your child! You may keep his/her work. Please return folders no later than the following Monday.
Online textbooks: Students will be able to access their science, math, and social studies textbooks online, using the web sites and usernames/passwords located on their password sheets, which you will be able to locate inside their agenda books. For science and math, you will visit pearsoneasybridge.com and click "Pearson Easy Bridge" tab, under username and password. This will bring your child to a gmail log in screen. Using his/her school ID number (Chromebook login)@richland2.org and his/her normal Chromebook login password, your child should be able to log into the online math and science textbooks. To view your child's online social studies book, you may visit https://digital.experiencestatehistory.com/login.htm?tenant=esh, then enter the username and password on his/her sheet.
Looking ahead to next week: As scientists, students will kick off their "Home, Sweet Home" plant and animal unit. They will learn set up seed experiments, work with ispods and begin learning about different types of ecosystems. As mathematicians, the children will continue learning about addition, subtraction, and rounding. Please check out the family letter below. In reading, the children will continue to review elements of a story (setting and plot). As writers, they will continue studying narrative writing and learning parts of speech through a mentor sentence. 
Thank you again for all that you do! Your support means the world to us!
