VOCABULARY QUIZZES...
~ We typically spend about two weeks on each novel we read in class. Our goal with these novels is to integrate content from Social Studies & Science as much as possible in order to help with the amount of content we need to cover in 3rd grade. This mean we have two weeks to learn the set of vocabulary that goes with the novel. My goal is to get all words defined in class the first week, allowing time to study and learn before the Vocabulary Quiz the nest week.
When studying with your child, make sure to discuss...
- definition/meaning of the word
- the Part of Speech for each word (The overall goal is for your child to understand well enough the parts of speech and therefore by understanding the meaning of the word and becoming familiar with prefixes & suffixes, your child could easily identify the part of speech of various words without simple memorizing them.)
- how to use guide words to help locate words in a dictionary, thesaurus or encyclopedia
- understanding of synonyms & antonyms and how they are helpful at understanding the meaning of words (This helps build your child's overall vocabulary base.)
- using context clues to help decide meaning
With each new novel we read, my goal is to upload the PDF file of what we have done in class for your reference in the case that your child may be absent or you have trouble reading their handwriting. I am hoping this proves helpful to you. Please be patient with me as this does take a deal of extra time to provide for you.
