Third Grade Exam Review

Parents:
I did not sent a weekly for this week.
Make sure you review for the exam the following:
-nouns: proper, common and how to write them in plural. The rules are in the notebook and they have been working with this since 1st grade. They remembered the concept very well. Also study the vocabulary words for "I Wanna Iguana" and important details from the story.

Take Care,
Mrs. Matias
