3rd Grade Reading with Mrs. Deegan-Smith

Hello 3rd Graders! Please look at each ELA Course below (in the chart) to help you prepare for the week of October 22-26

IMPORTANT!!

The OLS Literature and Comprehension Course does NOT mark Literature lessons over due or completed late. The daily/weekly plan does NOT allow me to set or change due dates. Therefore, a lesson will appear on your plan for Monday, October 22 because the OLS does not recognize Parent Teacher Conference day as a holiday. Since I am unable to remove the lesson, please follow the lesson sequence below in the chart and the due dates in the Gradebook for Literature and Comprehension
