COMMON CORE - new in Tennessee and our school in 3rd grade

The way we study and learn - the way grades look ... is all changing with the new common core.  We are taking NOTES in class when we come to a new topic of study.  Students are responsible for keeping up with the notes and for learning (studying) new material.  

We have already studied:  Sentences - Sentence Fragments,  Sentence Types (Declarative, Interrogative, Exclamatory, and Imperative), The steps in the WRITING PROCESS, singular and plural rules, root words, base words, suffixes, long vowels, short vowels, long vowel digraphs, the spelling of the months of the year, the spelling of the days of the week, and the abbreviations for all of those.
